SUMMARY:The French-Canadian Origins of U.S. Credit Unions by Mark Paul Richard\, Ph.D.
DESCRIPTION:While scholars have analyzed the phenomenal growth of the credit union movement in the United States\, they have devoted little attention to the Québec origins of credit unions and\, in particular\, no one has examined in any comprehensive way Alphonse Desjardins’s fundamental role in assisting Franco-American and other groups in developing their credit institutions in the United States. This presentation will explore the significant role of Desjardins in launching the hugely successful credit union movement in the United States. It will explain the background to the Québec caisse populairemovement\, and it will then explore how Desjardins brought the cooperative credit movement to the United States by helping French-Canadian parishes in New Hampshire and Massachusetts to found credit unions of their own. It will also consider the efforts of Desjardins and of other promoters to expand the credit union movement to other states in the country.

SUMMARY:Franco American Portal Project Building a discovery tool for Franco American collections
DESCRIPTION:The Franco American Portal Project is a five-university collaboration to build an online portal to Franco American archival collections. Our project addresses the need for online access to Franco American cultural history by: locating and identifying archival materials that concern French-Canadian\, Québécois(e)\, and Acadian diaspora communities in the US Northeast–wherever these materials have been collected around the world; bringing together information about these collections and their contents in an organized\, searchable\, and culturally conscientious way; and making accessible these collections and their contents by directing the public toward their digital presence and the institutions that collect and preserve them.

SUMMARY:JOIN US! REJOIGNEZ-NOUS! Virtual Rassemblement 2021: April 23-25
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, the Franco American Center at the University of Maine organizes a “rassemblement” (gathering) of Franco-American artists\, writers\, and other cultural workers. Part conference\, part reunion\, this annual event provides a culturally supportive space in which members of the Franco-American creative community can share their work. This year\, like last\, we will gather virtually\, via Zoom. If you are a Franco-American artist or your work engages with Franco-American culture you are invited to participate from wherever you are in the world — Friday\, April 23 and Saturday\, April 24\, 2021.\nTo attend the Rassemblement\, please register here.\nThis year’s theme is BELONGING (And Not Belonging): What does it mean to belong? How does the Franco community create a sense of belonging to its members? Where or when have you felt included and excluded\, within the Franco community or elsewhere? Why do we wish to feel that we belong\, and what are the values and dangers of that feeling? How is assimilation related to belonging? Participants’ presentations may or may not respond to this theme\, but we do ask that they in some way relate to Franco culture or history.\nIn preparation for our conversation\, please share your thoughts and experiences related to the theme of BELONGING by completing this brief survey.\n\nRASSEMBLEMENT SCHEDULE\nAll times in Eastern Standard Time. All meetings will take place via Zoom. Zoom links and other information will be provided to registered attendees in advance of the event. The majority of the event takes place in English\, but French is cherished\, welcomed\, and encouraged.\n  \nOPENING EVENT & DISCUSSION: Friday\, April 23\, 7-9pm\nJoan Vermette hosts a discussion on our theme\, “Belonging (And Not Belonging).” What does it mean to belong? How does the Franco community create a sense of belonging to its members? Where or when have you felt included and excluded\, within the Franco community or elsewhere? Why do we wish to feel that we belong\, and what are the values and dangers of that feeling? How is assimilation related to belonging? To respond to a preliminary survey on the topic\, please visit https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Z7BYPC2.\n  \nMORNING PRESENTATIONS & DISCUSSION: Saturday\, April 24\, 10am-12noon\nParticipants present their own work or reflection on this year’s theme.\n  \nBREAK FOR LUNCH\n  \nAFTERNOON PRESENTATIONS & DISCUSSION: Saturday\, April 24\, 2-4pm\nParticipants present their own work or reflection on this year’s theme.\n  \nEVENING/CLOSING EVENT: Saturday\, April 24\, 7-9pm\n“Soirée de la Musique – a Virtual Kitchen Party”\nMaine chanteur Robert Sylvain invites his musical friends\, including fiddler and fellow founder of Boréal Tordu\, Steve Muise\, for an evening of song-sharing and celebration!
