Reunion Page Registration Page Recent Updates Page Dear Cardon Family Members,
We are excited to announce the Cardon Family Reunion for the descendents of Philippe and Marthe Marie Tourn Cardon. The reunion will be held on Saturday, August 11, 2007, at the LDS Church at 665 South 200 West, Orem, Utah, 84058. A temple endowment session to perform ordinance work for Cardon family ancestors will be held at the Mt. Timpanogos Temple, on Friday, August 10, 2007.
Our key goal is to include younger generations in this Cardon Family Reunion, so that we may build family friendship, and honor our heritage. Please encourage your family members to visit the website to register and to obtain updates and details regarding the reunion. By registering online, we will save money on postage costs, better know how to plan activities, and especially know how many people to plan on joining us for lunch. Also, please let us know if you would like to help with reunion plans.
