We once again invite all Messiers and their friends to attend the upcoming luncheon at the Pavillon de l’Érable (1281 St-Édouard Street / Route de Michaudville, St-Jude) on Sunday, April 19, 2020. Tel.: 450-792-3011.

Take this opportunity to organize your own family reunion. We look forward to seeing a great turnout.

Photos of families descended from Zacharie/Azarie Messier and Catherine Lamoureux will once again be on display.

I will take this opportunity to hand over the results of my 30 years of research and compilation regarding the descendants of Zacharie/Azarie Messier and Anna Trahan. These findings are contained in Volumes 1, 2, and 3, which have already been reserved but not yet delivered. Only a few copies will be available.

Activities for adults and children remain unchanged. Weather permitting, inflatable play structures, carriage rides through the woods, and a visit to the petting zoo will be available.

Admission fees are payable at the door: $24 for adults and teenagers (12 and older), $12 for children aged 5 to 11, and $6 for children aged 3 and 4; admission is free for younger children.

The price includes the meal, taxes, coat check, and maple taffy. Prices are subject to change without notice. Guests requiring a gluten-free meal simply need to inform the servers. Could you please confirm your reservation by April 10, 2020, by calling 450-652-4181 or emailing real238m@videotron.ca?

It is important that we receive your confirmation by the requested date, or at least be informed of your intention to attend this annual event, so that we can properly plan the logistics and staffing for the day.

If you have suggestions for the next outing, whether to the sugar shack in St-Jude or elsewhere, or ideas for other types of activities, please let us know.

We look forward to seeing you again!

Michèle Desrosiers and Réal Messier
