A corporation formed to sponsor a Gravois Family Reunion in conjunction with Congres Mondial Acadien - Louisiane 1999. The Gravois Reunion will be one of at least seventy Acadian Family Reunions that will take place in Louisiana between August 1 and August 15, 1999. The Officers of Incorporation are:
President - Ronald J. Gravois...........Vice-President - Roland A. Gravois
Sec.-Tres. - F. D. Gravois, Jr..........Director - Gloria Gravois Hicks
Director - Earl S. Gravois..............Director - Neil P.Martinez
Director - Open.........................Attorney © Richard Brazan, Jr.
Arrangements are being made for the reunion to be held at the Vacherie Elementary School on Saturday, August 7, 1999. On Sunday, August 8, the Gravois reunion will shift to Saint James where there will be a re-enactment of the Acadiens landing on the First Acadian Coast, a dedication of a monument to this landing, and an outdoor French Mass, all of which will have special meaning to the Gravois family because this was the exact place the first Gravois family settled when they came to Louisiana in 1766.
On Tuesday, August 10, the Gravois Reunion will shift to the Acadian Village in Lafayette, Louisiana, where the Gravois Family will join with four other Acadian Families for a day of merriment.
It is expected that thousands of Gravois decendants will take the opportunity to return to their roots, to renew old acquaintances and make new ones. You now have the opportunity to help make this a memorable occasion by joining the La Famille Gravois Corporation and assisting in its planning and hosting of this reunion.
Applications to join LA FAMILLE GRAVOIS are being accepted, if accompanied with a donation of at least $10.00 for dues. Clip below and mail to Francois D. Gravois, Jr., 1926 Valentine Ct.,New Orleans, LA 70114.
