General meeting of the Association des Pinet / Pinette d’Acadie held in Bertrand, September 22, 2007
Minutes

1: 00 pm - Access to a genealogy area
The genealogical charts of the descendants of the family of Philippe Pinet and Catherine Hebert and those of Pierre Pinet and Marguerite Michaud, mounted by Céline Pinet, are available for consultation.
2: 00 pm – General meeting of the Association des Pinet / Pinette d’Acadie under the chairmanship of Léo-Paul Pinet
Thirty-seven people in attendance
- Welcome
Leo-Paul welcomed everyone. He reviewed the steps taken so far. Nine working meetings already took place.
2004 → November 21, December 5;
2005 → May 15, November 27;
2006 → May 27, August 19, October 14;
2007 → March 18, June 24.
At the first meeting, on November 21, 2004, a brainstorming session led to the organisation of the Association des Pinet / Pinette d’Acadie which aims to reunite Pinet / Pinette family members at the Congrès mondial acadien 2009, held in the Acadian Peninsula.
For this general meeting of Association four important points have been considered:
1- The history of Pinet / Pinette family genealogy – Where do we come from?
It is necessary to consider, among other things, the genealogy of the Pinet family to find our roots, Céline Pinet explained. She has been researching family history for over 25 years. Her sources are diverse: censuses, religious and civil records, obituaries, publications, including those by Stephen White and Fidèle Thériault, interviews, the Internet…
Two families must be considered: descendants of Philippe Pinet and Catherine Hebert of Acadie and those of Pierre Pinet and Marguerite Michaud of Quebec. Each participant received a document which briefly summarizes the origins of both Pinet families. This is a bit of information that allows each participant to reflect on his or her genealogical roots.
2-Actions taken to form the Association – evaluate our progress- Where are we now?
Léo-Paul briefly summarizes where we stand. A working tool as transparent as possible has been developed, a Web site (Pinet.genacadie.ca). Gilles Pinet briefly explains the structure of the site in question. Before turning to the next point, Léo-Paul Pinet mentions among other things that efforts are made to locate the stone that served as the door sill of Pierre Pinet’s house.
Rules and regulations - referring to the document in question, Léo-Paul Pinet reviewed the components and the work done so far in terms of the Rules and Regulations.
Having a membership card means membership in the Association des Pinet / Pinette d'Acadie .
Potential members should have a genealogical link with Philippe Pinet husband of Catherine Hebert or have a patronymic link to Philippe Pinet husband of Catherine Hebert.
The election procedure… The following positions need to be filled: President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. Anybody who is a member of the Association, is eligible for a position. Proposals for nomination for each position will be accepted. If more than one nomination for a designated post, there will be elections.
Election president, proposed by Gilles Pinet - Mr Jules Pinet. Jules accepts. For each of the positions to be filled, following a first nomination, the election president will invite the assembly to submit additional nominations. If there are no other nominations, the candidate proposed will be declared elected.

Non-elected members will be asked to join the Board of Directors to perform the various tasks in preparation for 2009. So, at the next meeting all those who were part of the organizing committee will be invited. Advisors will be those people who wish to accept the tasks assigned by the Board of Directors. In this sense, the advisors will play a leading role in assisting members of the Board of Directors in the exercise of their functions.
3-Unveiling the logo of the Association des Pinet / Pinette d’Acadie
Mrs. Jeannine Arseneau presents the logo chosen by the working commitee. There was discussion as to whether there was a need to add "Pinette" to the logo. Mrs Arseneau explains that up to the deportation of 1755, the name was spelled "Pinet"; parish registers confirmed. After explanations, the name "Pinet" is maintained.
The logo is accepted unanimously as presented. A letter of thanks will be sent to Ms. Guylaine Bégin.
4-En route to the large gathering of 2009 - Where are we going?
The grand gathering of Pinet / Pinette of Acadie will be held on August 13th and 14th 2009 at École Ola-Leger in Bertrand, NB. This activity will be part of the vast canvas of "Grand Gatherings" and in this sense will have to follow certain guidelines. Léo-Paul paints a picture of what's happening in the organisation of the Congrès mondial acadien. Finally, postcard bearing the name Pinet are available, each participants gets one.
