Battle of Pleasant Hill 5&6

May 08

Greetings Compatriots,

The Brig. Gen. J.J. Alfred A. Mouton Camp 778 of Opelouas is proud to be hosting the 2008 Louisiana Division Reunion in Lafayette this May 2,3,4, 2008 at the Holiday Inn Holidome in Lafayette! The theme for the weekend is Celebrating the Year of Davis!

As the camp had done in 2003, we will be having a good old South Louisiana crawfish boil on Friday evening. We will also have barbeque hamburgers and hotdogs available for those who wish to have it. A Division Executive Council meeting will also be held Friday night.

On Saturday, the convention will hold its business meetings, and, as this is an election year for Division officers, Division and Brigade level elections. We will host a Louisiana Remembers Memorial Luncheon and on Saturday night, a special sit down banquet with awards presentations and our very special guest speaker, Richard Flowers. Mr. Flowers is the Assistant Director and Curator of Beauvoir in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Please contact my Adjutant, Charles Lauret, at patriot1861@yahoo.com or 337-945-3163, should you have any questions. We do hope that you will come and join your fellow Compatriots and their families to Pass a Cajun and Confederate Good Time in Lafayette...the Heart of Acadiana!

Hope to see you there!

Compatriots,

I am trying to get a link to Holiday Inn reservations that will allow you to make reservations online specifically for our Reunion. Until that time, I recommend that you utilize telephone reservations as provided on the registration form (info also below).

Please note that $79 is very reasonable rate compared to rates for that same hotel I found simply checking rates online. The cheapest for a double is $126 a night at the Holidome and prices jump to $135, $155, and $180 with suites even higher.

LAFAYETTE-US167

Hope to see you in Lafayette!

Your Servant,

Charles Lauret
