Coming in 2012! The Foundations of Community Series forums are taking a new direction. We will be offering these forums on a quarterly basis, beginning with an engaging series highlighting the Civil War era in Pointe Coupée Spring of 2012. We'll take a step back in time through diaries, journals and recollections garnered from the Southern Claims Commission records. This will be an opportunity to hear the story in their own words for the first time in our contemporary era. Details on dates and forum topics coming soon.
