ROCKTOBERFEST
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2
This year we are opening on Wednesday, October 2nd
for a mid week, "HUMPDAY" celebration called Rocktoberfest.
The AFTER ALL band will be playing music from the 50's,
60's and 70's, from 6 - 9 Pm in the Big Tent. Dress in styles from
that era and you will be eligible for special prizes. We will also
have a jitterbug contest. So break out the zoot suits, poodle skirts,
and Peace sign T-shirts and be ready to have a blast! A LIMITED
50's STYLE MENU WILL BE AVAILABLE.
Maybe even Ice Cream Sodas!

FINANCIAL SECRETARY NEWS
All members who became members through September, 2013 should have received or will be
receiving a letter on their dues status. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT
THE CARD THAT WAS ISSUED TO YOU IN THE PAST IS A PERMANENT CARD
WHICH WILL ONLY BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $10.00. SO PLEASE DO NOT
ACCIDENTALLY THROW IT AWAY, OR THINK YOU WILL RECEIVE A NEW CARD
WITH YOUR 2014 MEMBERSHIP. The dues will again be $25 per person, and are due by
December 31, 2013. It is my hope that everyone will cooperate with renewing their membership.
To prevent confusion, please note the following: anyone inviting a person to join the
club, the cost is $35 for the first year of membership and $60 for a couple who apply for
membership at the same time. Anyone wanting to rejoin the club after being dropped, the
payment will be $30. Many of the days that the club is open, I am there, and will help anyone
with questions or problems.
You may reach me at :
membership@readingliederkranz.com or brynlen@aol.com.
Volunteers needed for Oktoberfest: Call Elaine Riegel at 610-777-0007
Elaine is looking forward to talking to all volunteers, past and present!
Condolences go out to the family of Honorary Member Eugene Sweigert, a member for 53 years.
We also send condolences to the family of member Patricia Wilson.
