An announcement has been sent to all family members of whom we have email-addresses. Here’s a copy of that email in case you haven’t received it.
Dear family,
In 2010 it will be five years ago since we have had the last family reunion of the descendants of Ong Jap Lik. About 200 family members from Indonesia, Singapore, U.S.A., Canada, England, Germany, France, Belgium and The Netherlands were present at the family reunion in Haarlem, The Netherlands. It was amazing to realize that Ong Jap Lik has so many descendants in many different places in the world. For many it was an unforgettable day. Some of us are looking forward to meet each other again someday… somewhere…
We will organize a family reunion again in 2010 (May or June). This reunion will be held in the Netherlands. Information about date and place will follow.
