A Word from the President - Spring 2022

Hello loyal members,

A new year has begun with great hope that near-normal life will return.

Some received a 4th dose of vaccine to hopefully reduce the risk of contamination or, at least, reduce the effects of the virus. As we are an at-risk clientele, let's make sure to take the appropriate precautions because the Association cares about you. Unfortunately, during the revision of our lists to renew the membership cards, we find that some have left us. However, since the average age of these missing members is over 90, we have to accept the inevitable. More than ever, recruitment is the best way to support our Association.

We always want to inform you and maintain a family bond with you, but your support is always greatly appreciated. Give us avenues of research in order to prepare articles that will interest you and thus maintain your interest in our newsletter.

Our general meeting will be held on June 5, 2022. We always appreciate meeting you there to chat. 

Marc Robitaille, President

A Word from the President - Fall 2021

Hello dear members

We have finally arrived at the holiday season. We will only be able to take advantage of small family gatherings, but it’s a start.

We are resuming an almost normal life but must stay vigilant. We always hope to hear about your family stories and to pass them on to other members of the Association.

Just a little reminder to those who need to renew their subscriptions, don't delay if you want to continue receiving your newsletter.

The members of the board of directors and the commanders wish you Happy Holidays. Take care of yourself and have a good time with your family.

Marc Robitaille, President

A Word from the President - Fall 2020

Hello dear members

Our year 2020 is ending soon and without regrets but with a lot of hope. We realized that our existence can change quickly and that a vaccine can partly regulate the way we live together. There will still be lessons to be learned from this experience.

Despite all the constraints of this virus and the loss of our main editor René, your association will continue to produce a newsletter for you as long as we have your support. The renewal of your membership in the association and your participation in the various articles help us greatly in maintaining the Robitailleries. Our big and beautiful family needs your stories to share in order to make our newspaper interesting.


We digitize articles that we send to you by internet as regularly as possible and a paper magazine gathering all the articles. We will be updating our membership list in early January and hope you will join us for 2021. We hope that we can offer you activities in the next year as we look forward to seeing you.

Marc Robitaille, President

A Word from the President - Spring 2021

Hello dear members

I hope all is well with you despite the circumstances. Thanks to vaccination, the only option that will allow us to return to an almost normal life, we will improve our situation. We are happy to be able to offer you interesting historical articles so far, but our information bank is drying up and we need your help to feed our topics and stories. Many have regained a taste for reading during the pandemic and we try to provide you with topics that will hopefully bring back some nostalgia and memories that you could share with us.

We are still hopeful that we can meet for our 2020 and 2021 general assemblies shortly when the rules allow. Until then, make sure you have renewed your membership card to ensure you receive our newsletter.

Take care of yourself and look forward to seeing or hearing from you soon.

Marc Robitaille, President
