Association
de la Famille Daigle was originally created for the purpose of
organizing the 1999 Louisiana Reunion and furthering interest in Daigle/Daigre
genealogy. The 1999 and 2004 reunions are behind us now, but we plan to keep growing
toward the next Reunion of 2009 in New Brunswick.

French

Thanks to a profitable reunion, the Association de la Famille Daigle has
made a $500 donation to the French Immersion Program at Paul Breaux Middle
School in Lafayette, LA. Jeanne Solis-Daigle chaired this event and made
the presentations. Her daughter, Erin, is a student in the
program. Click here for

The association also made $300 donations to the French Immersion programs of Pierre Part Primary
, Pierre Part Middle and Assumption High in 2004 & 2005. Click here for
