Our History
A group of courageous sons and daughters from Kfeir, a small village in Lebanon, left their homeland in pursuit of a dream in America. They began gathering in the late 1920s to reminisce about their land and their roots. They founded the Kfeirian Brotherhood and later changed the name to the Kfeirian Reunion Foundation, Inc. and pledged to meet each year with their families, ensuring that their descendants would carry on their traditions. Although their descendants have spread far and wide, the Kfeirian Reunion continues in their memory today. The Kfeirian members come from across the U.S., Canada, and around the world.
We hold our annual Kfeirian Reunion in various cities, from the Ohio/West Virginia area where our early immigrants originally settled, to new and exciting locations such as Myrtle Beach, Orlando, Las Vegas, Miami, and Los Angeles, CA. We celebrated our 89th anniversary in 2021 virtually via Zoom calls due to a world-wide pandemic which kept us from meeting face-to-face, but it did not keep us from gathering virtually. We hope to see you at a future reunion in 2022 for our 90th reunion to be held in Huntington, WV
