L' Ardoise Acadian Festival 2005 is fast approaching. A schedule of events brochure has been sent throughout
the community and we are most appreciative to the many businesses who support the cost of this pamphlet.
With the many activities over the five day festival, we are in need of any number of volunteers to make these
events run smoothly. It has often been said that our community spirit is very strong during L'Ardoise Acadian
Festival. Let us remember the great gifts passed on over many generations and pray that the Holy Spirit will
inspire in us the desire to work together to make L'Ardoise Acadian Festival 2005 a great social, recreational,
and cultural community event.

Thank You: Donald and I would like to thank the parish for the wonderful meal that we had on June 12th at the
celebration for couples-anniversaries. It was delicious as always! We will be married 25 years on August 16th,
and hope that God will leave us on this great earth for a few more years to celebrate another milestone
(50years+) as some of the couples that were there. May God bless each and every one of you. Embrace life. It
is truly his one true gift to us all. Donald & Bernadette Bona
