Upcoming family reunion posted on another mailing list -
GUÉDRY ET PETITPAS 2015 REUNION
SAVE THE DATE
Saturday, 10 October 2015 (9:00 am until 5:00 pm)
Henry Guidry Memorial Park, 130 Park Drive
Henderson, Louisiana
Our upcoming
Guédry & Petitpas Reunion will be at the large, covered pavilion at Henry Guidry
Memorial Park in Henderson, Louisiana on Saturday, 10 October 2015.
This is in the heart of Guédry country in southwest Louisiana. Of course, the spellings you’ll encounter in the area are Guidry, Guedry and Gaidry so be prepared to meet your many cousins. You may even find a local Petitpas cousin or two although they are not as numerous in south Louisiana.
We have a Cajun band scheduled to play some two-steps and waltzes. We also have two superb chef cooking gumbo, jambalaya and all the fixings for lunch. We will not have a formal agenda as in the past with only one or two short
activities planned, and will set aside time to induct some special folks
into the Les Guédry et Petitpas d’Asteur Circle of Distinction. The Reunion will be free to all.
Registering -
So that we will have enough chairs and tables and will cook enough food at lunch, if you would like to attend the Reunion, please email Martin Guidry at guidryrm@cox.net. Just state how many people will be attending in your party and your name.
