During the

President Shirley T. LeBlanc, of Famille de Thibodeaux Association donated
$2000 to the Acadian Memorial Foundation for sponsorship of Olivier Thibodeaux,
who is represented on the mural.
French Immersion
As part of our association commitments to assist in promoting the French language and culture, French books and teaching supplies were delivered to St. Martin Parish Schools in the Spring of 2001. Famille de Thibodeaux and Les Dupuis Toujours each contributed $200.00 Shirley and John Allen LeBlanc contributed $500.00 to CAFA’s French Immersion Project. The project of supplying books, teaching supplies and etc. is being sponsored by CAFA.
Schools that participated in the French Immersion program of promoting French were: Cecilia Primary School, Teche Elementary School, Cecilia Jr. High, and Cecilia High School.

The Committee for the Preservation of Sainte-Famille Cemetery
c/o Donna Doucet, P.O. Box 150, Grand-Pré, N.S. B0P 1M0
Falmouth,
N.S., The
Committee for the Preservation of Sainte-Famille Cemetery, dedicated to the
preservation of Sainte-Famille Cemetery, has announced plans for the
development of a memorial walkway. In
an effort to attract more visitors to this beautiful historic site, the
committee has developed a Buy-A-Brick Campaign, which will allow the
construction of a commemorative walkway using personalized bricks.
Continuing efforts to restore this cemetery
leads the not for profit organization to present innovative fundraising
efforts. "Moving forward to the year 2004, all Acadians can start this new
year right by dedicating a brick in their own name or in memory of an Acadian
ancestor. Friends of Acadians can do the same! We want to proudly show that we
are preserving our history and culture", suggests co-president Lucille
Amirault.
Located in Falmouth, N.S., this pre-1755 burial ground was discovered during the excavation of a building lot. An in depth archaeological assessment has confirmed the Acadian connection to this long, forgotten cemetery. The Committee for the Preservation of Sainte-Famille Cemetery was created in 1997 after which the lot was purchased. This site has become a peaceful reminder of these early settlers of Nova Scotia. It is hoped this culturally important historic site will become a place for visitors to reflect on their ancestry and find a feeling of connection to Nova Scotia soil.
The bricks
are available for $50.00 Canadian ($35.00 U.S.). Order forms can be received online at stefamille@hotmail.com or by
contacting Lucille Amirault – (902)
765-4740 or Donna Doucet – (902) 542-3631
