Stanley - there is no way that the CMA for 2014 has been set. The place where CMA will be held is chosen not too long before the CMA on the docket takes place and it is announced at the closing of CMA - so I don't know who is saying that 2014 is set because it really is not.

While I understand the logic of having the CMAs in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick and the disadvantage of a CMA in Louisiana in the month of August, I believe that there is a need to have a reunion in Louisiana in early to mid-June in 2007. This wouldn't conflict with the 2009 CMA and would also allow another reunion in Louisiana in 2012 which wouldn't conflict with the 2014 CMA. The reunion could be for the Acadians in Louisiana and the else where who wish to attend. Perhaps it could be named Acadian Reunion Louisiana 2009. As Dr. Don Landry noted a while back, many of our elderly cousins can't wait until 2019; and, there isn't any commitment to have the CMA-2019 in Louisiana. If interested, please respond to me off-list. If there is enough interest, I'll start contacting the Louisiana Family Associations.
