President's Corner 
by Woody Hebert
 
     Our Association's Board of Directors met August 11, 2002, in Abbeville and discussed the progress being made on the plannings of the CMA 2004 Hébert Reunion in Nova Scotia and our willingness to help the Héberts of Acadie host a successful reunion.
     Here in Louisiana, plans are well underway on organizing the CAFA Louisiana Purchase Bicentennial 2003 Celebration to be held at the Rayne Civic Center in Rayne.  The celebration will include all families who wish to participate.
     October is officer election month for our association.  We need new blood to serve.  Please contact me or any officer with your nominations.
     Check out the CAFA website: www.cafa.org for the new Hébert bulletin board soon to be activated.  This bulletin board will also carry information from our Hébert Association in N.B. and N.S., Canada concerning plans for 2004.
New Brunswick Hebert Association Reunion
August 23 & 24, 2003
St. Edouard de Kent
  
     In my opinion this area of New Brunswick is like home - Vermilion Parish.  The people here talk the same French.  I can remember coming home from the 1994 CMA Celebration and telling my father "Cliff" just how at home I felt in the region of the beautiful coast of the Northumberland Strait.  St. Edouard is located between Bouctouche and Richibucto, just a stone's throw from the Kouchbouguac National Park.  If you want a real treat, try canoeing along the coastal waters.
     I am told by Gerard LeBlanc, the NB Hébert Family Association President, that this reunion will highlight the family of our progenitor Etienne Hébert.  In past years they have had reunions with the Antoine Hébert side and felt that it was time to bring the Etienne side into the fold.  This would be a great opportunity for all of us to meet our other cousins from New Brunswick and the surrounding Maritime Provinces and help welcome them to CMA 2004 Hébert Reunion in Amherst, Nova Scotia.  

The printed newsletter also has articles "Le Coin Francais" and "Walking in Their Footsteps."  If I can get the newsletter emailed to me I'll post those articles as well.
