Wunderbar war es zu sehen, wie belebt sich das Klubleben
im vergangenen Monat zeigte. Der Monat Mai fing
mit dem Muttertagsessen am 6ten an. Die Muetter,
Gattinnen, Grossmuetter sowie auch Urgrossmuetter
wurden mit umfangreichen Vorfuehrungen von den
verschiedenen Tanzgruppen und dem Schwabenchor
geehrt. Diese wahrhaft familienbetonte Veranstaltung
war sehr gut besucht und das Speisenangebot war
reichlich bemessen !
Der Wiener-Galaabend, von den Donautaenzern veranstaltet und als Benefizabend konzipiert, wurde am
12. Mai abgehalten. Die 170 Anwesenden bescherten
den Abend einen Rekord-Erfolg. Das Essen, die
Unterhaltung und die Tanzvorfuehrungen waren fuer
alle Teilnehmer ein Genuss. Die geleistete Arbeit seitens
2
der Donautanzgruppe war allen offensichtlich.
Vom Galaball am 12. Mai ging die Tanzgruppe
auf Tour und zwar zum naechsten Auftritt
bei einer Geburtstagfeier in Burlington, wo
das Geburtstagskind seinen 60. feierte. Die
Donautanzgruppe wurde gebeten, einige Taenze
vorzufuehren. Wegen Platzmangel musste die
Truppe aber mitten in der Strasse ihre Dienste
leisten, indem die Nachbarn sie umkreisten. Ob
in Abendkleidern und Smoking in einem Festsaal
oder in den belebten Strassen einer Grossstadt,
sind die Donautaenzer ueberall tanzbereit !
Am 27. Mai fand ich mich im zweiten StrudelKochkurs im Klub. Es freut mich, dass die traditonellen Kochrezepte von Mitgliedern der
Frauengruppe weitergereicht werden. Es war
ein Genuss, die Zubereitung der Teigmasse zu
lernen und das Endprodukt am Tagesende nach
Hause fuer die anderen Familienmitglieder
zu bringen. In den naechsten Monaten kommen andere Gerichte an die Reihe, vielleicht
Krautrouladen oder Gulasch.
Bitte, diese
Kochkurse vormerken. Man lernt viel und es
macht zudem Spass !
Ich moechte hiermit Klubmitglied Melanie
Williamson gratulieren. Vor kurzem wurde sie
als Miss Canada International kuriert. Letztes
Jahr hat sie den Titel Miss Ontario errungen.
Viele von uns kennen Melanie als langjaehrige Bedienungshilfe im Schwabenklub und
neuerdings als Mitglied der Schwabentaenzern.
Melanie beschaeftigt sich auch in den bildenden Kuensten, mit Universitaet und
Wohltaetigkeitsaktivitaeten. Es ist eigentlich
keine Ueberraschung, dass Melanie die Provinz
Ontario gut vertritt. Wir wuenschen ihr weiterhin viel Erfolg als die neue Miss Canada
International.
Ich moechte Sie alle an das bevorstehende
Klubpicnick erinnern, das am 3. Juni im Wilmot
Rod + Gun Club stattfindet. Kommen Sie mal
raus und entspannen Sie sich unter anderen
Klubmitgliedern. Am 9. Juni kommt das 5.
KW-Trachtenfest, was vom Transylvaniaklub im
Schwabenklub veranstaltet wird. Hier werden
Sie die Gelegenheit haben, sich unter anderen
Klubmitgliedern und auswaertigen Tanzgruppen
mitzumischen. Bitte, diese Gruppen unterstuetzten und das Deutschtum aufrechterhalten.
President’s Report
It is wonderful to see how active the club has
been this past month. May kicked off with our
Mother’s day luncheon on the 6th. We honoured our mothers, wives, grandmothers, and
great grandmothers with performances by the
kids, youth, Schwaben and Donau dance groups
as well as the Schwaben Club choir. This truly
family event was well attended and there was
plenty of food for everyone.
Our Donau Dancers’ Viennese Gala Ball fundraiser on May 12th was a great success with
approximately 170 in attendance. The best attendance to date. The food, entertainment and
dancing provided a great evening for all the participants. The effort by the Donau dance group
was evident to all those who attended.
The Donau Dancer’s went from performing at
a gala ball in May to performing in the street.
They were asked to perform at a 60th birthday
party in Burlington for a gentleman who was
of German descent. Due to space challenges
they were forced to perform on the street while
the neighbours formed a circle around them.
Whether they are in gowns and tuxes in an elegant setting or on the streets of a bustling city
our Donau Dancers seem to do it all.
I participated in our second strudel making class
at the club on May 27th. It is great to see traditional recipe’s being passed on to others by many
of our long term Frauen members. I enjoyed
watching and making my own strudel and then
took it home to my family for their enjoyment. I
have heard a rumour that we will have cabbage
rolls and possibly goulash cooking classes in the
future. Be sure to watch for these. I can attest
they are both educational and fun.
I want to take this opportunity to congratulate
one of our club’s members. Melanie Williamson
has been awarded the title of Miss Ontario
and then Miss Canada International in the last
month. Many of us know Melanie from her
years of working here at the Schwaben club as a
server and also more recently as a member of the
Schwaben dancers. Melanie has also been very
involved in the arts, her academics and her charity work. It is not surprising to see someone like
Melanie represent Ontario. We wish all the best
in her new role of Miss Canada International.
I want to remind you of our upcoming Club
picnic on Sunday, June 3rd at the Wilmot Rod
and Gun club. Come out and relax and enjoy
the outdoors with your fellow club members.
One week later on June 9th we have the K-W
Trachtenfest sponsored by the Transylvania
Club. The event will be held at the Schwaben
club and you will have the opportunity to mingle with other club members and see many of
the other dance groups that you do not normally
see perform other than at Oktoberfest. So come
on out to this great event and help celebrate our
german heritage.

Manager’s Report
“What’s Going On”
The month of May was a very busy month and
June will be very busy too, which is very good.
This summer should be a good one. Don’t be
afraid to pop in for a cold one on some of those
hot summer days…love to see you.
Oktoberfest tickets are now on sale and people
are starting to pick them up, it’s never too early
to purchase your tickets.
Take it easy and enjoy the summer, we have a
busy fall ahead of us.

May has seemed to come and go quickly for us.
Our groups enjoyed the Mother’s Day Luncheon
on May 6, 2012. A sincere thank you to Andrew
Tadros for taking photographs of all our dancers with their mothers, grandmothers, and great
grandmothers at this event. Thank you also to
Melissa Gissing, Helga Hill, and all those who
helped in serving ice cream to the children after
lunch. It was a nice treat! A special thank you
to the Frauengruppe as a portion of the raffle
monies was given to our groups as a donation.
We appreciate this greatly as we continue to

Frauengruppe
Greetings from the Frauengruppe! Here it is
June already and we are coming up to our summer break and then we will be into Landestreffen
preparation full blast. This is our chance to show
our American neighbours what a great club we
have. Consider helping in any way you can. No
matter how big or small your time commitment,
it will all help.
In May, we had our Mother’s Day celebration. It
was the first event that the Frauengruppe hosted
since I took over from Mary Hild. I was nervous
that it would be as good as ever. With the help of
our set up volunteers, the kitchen staff, the dance
groups, singers and all the generous raffle donations, I was happy with the result. I would like to
thank everyone very much, and especially all our
members who attended and brought their family
and friends.
June 20th is our final birthday meeting until
Sept. We will have our usual supper and bingo.
Don’t forget it starts at 6 PM.

Every year, members come together at the
Schwaben Club to celebrate that important person in their lives – their Mom. It’s always a lovely afternoon filled with great food and entertainment, so if you weren’t there, you really missed
out. And so did your mother!
The afternoon began with the fundraiser of
our Kinder and Jugend groups – selling bouquets of flowers. A perfect gift for Mom, they
were popular with the people in attendance.
After brief poem by the Vice President of the
Frauengruppe, Miss Schwaben came up to say
Grace, and it was time to eat! We started with
Caesar salad, and continued on with Schnitzel,
Chicken Supreme, mashed potatoes, and Green
Beans Almondine. The meal was perfect in every respect. Finishing it off was a Raspberry
Cream Torte – it practically tickled the taste
buds. It was impossible to go hungry that day.
Then came the entertainment - it was top quality all day. First it was our Kindergruppe. They
came out and danced up a storm. To say they
were cute wouldn’t do them justice. After them,
there was a short poem by one of our members.
Then the Jugendgruppe came out and showed
off what they were capable of. Both groups
were fantastic and made every mother in the
room proud.
The next presentation was a rare but welcome
one. The Schwaben Sänger sang a number of
songs for our entertainment. They are always
wonderful to hear, and it was good to see some
younger blood in the group as well. The next
dance group was the Schwaben Dancers who
whooped it up as usual with their high-energy
dancing. Finally, the Donau Dancers hit the
floor and performed some lovely dances for us.
The day ended with a raffle hosted by the
Frauengruppe. The only glitch in the entire day
was losing power to the speakers in the Donau
half of the hall. But that didn’t stop anything
– the MC just grabbed a megaphone and announced the winning numbers manually to half
the hall. All in all, it was a great day, and a super
way to pay homage to our moms everywhere.

Viennese Ball
12
On May 12, 2012 the Donau Dancers of The
Schwaben Club hosted our 4th annual Gala
Ball. It takes many months of planning, organizing and practicing to put together such an
event. The Hall was transformed into a Grand
Ballroom with style and elegance. A special
thank you toRose Buck and her family for their
contribution towards the hall decorations.
As our guests entered the Grand Hall, the
Eastwood CI junior quartet played an assortment of classical pieces. This was the first time
that these young musicians played at such an
Film Nachmittag
event as this. We have been very fortunate to
have Eastwood CI be part our Gala Ball for another year. The students enjoyed themselves
and hope to play for us again.
Our guests were treated to champagne cocktails provided by Karin and Wolfgang Kahnke
and Walter Marzinko from the Donau Dance
Group. The meal itself was served in style, be
ginning with soup, salad, main course and dessert. A big thank you to the kitchen staff and
serving staff for all of your help. The meal was
enjoyed by all.
This year we had Sydney Gissing and Stefani
Kahnke from the Kinder Dancegroup as our

little ambassadors for the evening. They were
charming and very beautiful; our guests were
enchanted by these two little ones. Thank you
young ladies for all of your help.
Our group had the privledge of having a professional ballroom champion instruct us on technique this year. Gabrielle Nagy volunteered her
time to our group and we greatly appreciate all
that she was able to accomplish with us.
At 8:00pm our ball began with a traditional
Polanaise and Viennese Waltz. ‘Variation’ supplied the music for the evening and the dancefloor was always full. Later on in the evening
The Donau Dancers performed a quadrille and
a traditional Laendler and Neppendorper for our
guests. Everyone enjoyed the performance
This year we had a very special guest surprise
us. This young lady has worked as a server since
the age of 14 at the Schwaben Club and has recently been crowned Miss Canada International
2013. Miss Melanie Williamson attended our
event and we were thrilled to be able to have her
join us for our fundraiser.
As the evening began to wind down, our raffle
draw took place. We thank all the sponsors for
donating prizes towards our fund raiser.
All who attended our evening had a wonderful
time.

At the end of WW2, innocent German civilians
became victims of crimes against humanity. Forgotten
Voices lets these victims of ethnic cleansing tell their
story in their own words, so that they and what they
endured are not forgotten. Ulirich Merten argues that
applying collective punishment to an entire people,
no matter what the circumstances, is a crime against
humanity. He conclues that this should be recognized
as a European catastrophe, and not only a German one,
because of its magnitude and the broad violation of
human rights that occurred on European soil.
