Warren Perrin will be the special guest speaker at our next meeting on April 28th at the Golden Coral in Lafayette. The meeting will start at 11:00AM.
Warren Perrin will honor us by speaking at the next Boudreaux Family Association Meeting. Mr. Perrin is an attorney who among some of his many achievements is the Author of “Acadian Redemption”, spearheaded a campaign to get Queen Elizabeth II of England to acknowledge and apologize for the Acadians’ expulsion from Nova Scotia. He was instrumental in establishing the Acadian Museum in Erath.
Make sure you invite someone new to this meeting. We will be intertained, fellowship, and discuss possibly making a donation to the Acadian Musuen in Erath.
Don't forget to bring an item for the door prize drawing.
P.S. Someone is having his birthday that day. Guess who it is. I'll give you a hint. His last name is Boudreaux. The Fire Marshal will not allow us to put candles on his cake inside because it is a fire hazard.
