Travel plan in France in 2025
During this fall period, let’s take advantage of these beautiful, cooler days, warmer clothes for hiking and outdoor activities.
It is also a pleasant time to read, open photo albums, be interested in genealogy, researching our ancestors and history, etc. and even prepare for the holiday season!
The annual Bilodeau Family Congress was held on Saturday August 17, 2024 at the St-Pierre Community Center in Drummondville including a visit to the Photography Museum. Under the theme of Homecoming, we took the opportunity to highlight Bilodeau who stood out during their career: the Bilodeau of the year will be awarded to Laurent Bilodeau, Denis Bilodeau, from Lac-Supérieur was inducted into the Cercle des Grands Bilodeau, as well as a tribute to one of our own, Jacques Bilodeau.
The Généa-Jeunesse & Famille competition becomes the GENEALOGY AND HISTORY COMPETITION, an activity that is used and open to all! Take advantage of your availability and your retirement to write the history of your family. Who are your ancestors and those who follow you? Attractive prizes are offered to the winners. Tell us about your research on your family, embellished with stories and anecdotes.
The travel project to France which has been postponed to 2025: a travel program with our French cousins is still in preparation. Visits to interesting sites and discovery of the history of our ancestors are on the program. The planning of this trip was entrusted to a committee, as well as our accomplice, Danièle Billaudeau from France. A few people have already registered, please reserve your place as soon as possible. The full program will be available in the coming weeks. Based on the information available, we invite you to register again for planning.
New promotional items are available at the Association: flags with the Coat of Arms of the Bilodeau Association measuring 24 x 36 inches, sweaters of different sizes, pins, pens, etc.
Renewal and recruitment are the basis of our organization. I invite you to inform your family members of the many services that the Association can offer, publications, genealogies, meetings, family histories and promotional articles, etc.
You are invited to visit our website www.famillesbilodeau.com and our Facebook page, new information is added regularly.
Happy autumn!
