News
This is the rubric under which we report recent, current, and upcoming activities. "News" contrasts with community cultural history, found by clicking on communities located on the Map, French Heritage in the Midwest of the United States:Map 1 The Red River Valley of the North and North Dakota. "News" is now, whereas Community information is more historical in orientation. So, voilà des actualités (here's some news). Don't forget, by the way, that you can switch to French any time on this site.
