1 Year of Blogging

One year ago, for whatever reason, I decided to start blogging. I told my self I would give it a year and see how it goes. I have come to enjoy it (even if it is just me looking at it.) Happy Birthday Bloggy.

Congrès Mondial Acadien 2014 Louisiane www.cma2014.com

For the last year or so I have been part of a group of people that have worked very hard to create a bid to hold 2014's Congrès Mondial Acadien in Louisiana - Acadiana to be specific.

The World Acadian Congress is a huge gathering of Acadians from all over the world. It takes place every five years and the next one will be held in 2009 in the Acadian Peninsula, in northeast New Brunswick.The first World Acadian Congress took place in 1994, in southeastern New Brunswick, and it was organized by nine francophone municipalities from that area. The second Congress took place in 1999 in Louisiana and the third was organized in 2004 in Nova Scotia.

The CMA is a great way for all Acadiens to celebrate being Acadien. It will also bring an estimated $15 million dollors to South Louisiana.

But a big part of winning the bid is proving that the people of South Louisiana want it to come here. So we have built a website www.cma21014.com where people can add their name to the list of people who wish to see CMA 2014 in Louisiana. Also, you can make and upload videos to the website. I encourage all of you (all 3 of you) to go to www.cma2014.com and at the very least sign up and support us.
