Bericht des Präsidenten
Der Sommer geht zu Ende und der Herbst steht vor der Tür und
damit kommen unsere Herbstfestlichkeiten.
Zuerst kam unser „Kirchweihfest“ eines unserer farbenfrohen Feste
auf das sich die meisten hier im Klub freuen. In diesem Jahr war
es nicht anders. Alle Gruppen trugen dazu bei und unsere Frauengruppe übernahm die Führung bei den Vorbereitungen der Halle, der
Tische und der Dekoration. Ein Dankeschön geht an
Susan Cook und ihrem Komitee für die geleistete Arbeit. Ein Dankeschön geht auch an unsere Tanzgruppen. Ihr habt wunderschön getanzt und wir sind stolz
auf euch.
Das nächste wird unser Oktoberfest sein. Mir wurde
mitgeteilt, dass beide Wochenende ausverkauft sind
und wir hoffen, dass die Tage in der Mitte der Woche
auch noch ausverkauft werden. Unsere Damen, mit
Hilfe von einigen unseren Männern, haben ihre Aufgabe, unsere berühmten Kohlrouladen zu machen,
wieder erfüllt. „DANKESCHÖN“ meine Damen und
Herren für diese wichtige, gute geleistete Arbeit. Unser Club ist sehr glücklich und dankbar für eure Hilfe.
Ich freue mich schon auf das Oktoberfest und freue
mich besonders, euch alle, unsere Mitglieder, und
viele Gäste hier in unserem Schwaben Club willkommen zu heißen.
„Zicke, Zacke, Zicke, Zacke, Hoi, Hoi, Hoi“
President’s Report
Summer is coming to an end and fall is fast approaching. With that come our fall festivities.
First up was our “Kirchweihfest”, one of our most
colourful and also our most looked forward to here at
our club. This year was no different. All groups contributed with our “Ladies Auxiliary” taking the lead in
preparation and hall and table setup and decorations.
A thank you to Susan Cook and your committee for a
job well done. Also a thank you to our dance groups.
You danced beautifully and we are proud of you.
Next up will be our “Oktoberfest”. I am advised that
both weekends are sold out and we are hoping the
mid-week days will also be sell outs. Our ladies, with
the help of some of our men, have again finished their
task of making our famous cabbage rolls. “THANK
YOU” ladies and gentlemen for again doing this important task. Our club is very fortunate and appreciative for your help.
I am looking forward to the actual Oktoberfest celebrations and I am most certainly looking forward to
greeting you, our members, and may of our guests
here at our Schwaben Club.

WHAT’S GOING ON
Manager’s Report
I’ve always thought that September is one of the best
months of the year, and this year was no different. In
September you can always count on great weather,
and great business at the club.
It is also a great lead in to Oktoberfest which again
will be super busy. I hope you are going to take time
to enjoy Oktoberfest to the fullest.
November will feature the ladies 80th Anniversary
dinner and dance. That’s fantastic when you think
about it and the history that goes along with such a
long time association. Congratulation Ladies!
Also in November we will have another dinner and
dance featuring a tribute to Frank Sinatra and Dean
Martin with the Vegas North Orchestra. This will be a
night you will enjoy and won’t want to miss. Tickets
are now available in the office for this Amazing show
on Saturday November 28th.
Then comes December, “the most wonderful time of
the year” need I say more. The club’s Christmas lunch
and New Years Eve are always very popular events to
attend.
As you can see the remainder of this year is packed
with lots to do here at the club. So until next time….
See You At The Schwaben Club.
Don Egley
Manager
Frauengruppe
Our Kirchweih was a great success!
Thank You to all the ladies that helped with the hall
set up and the making of the rosemary corsages.
The straus was won by Joanne Holland and Ed Ries;
may your rosemary prosper and grow! The second
straus was presented to Katie Geimer for her faithful
help to us.
Please note, we have 3 positions coming open in our
Frau committee. 2 nd treasurer, secretary, vice president. Please consider volunteering for any position.
Oktoberfest Sunday Oct 11. We have our famous bake
sale. We appreciate your baking goodies.
Keep in mind Tuesday, Oct 13th, Pioneer Day at the
Kitchener City Hall.
The Schwaben Club is being honoured this year, and
since it is Frauengruppe 80th Anniversary, it makes us
“extra special”
COME OUT and visit our display !

Kinder/Jugendgruppe
Welcome back everyone after a break from dance
over the summer. We got back into the swing of things
pretty quickly this September, to get ready for Kirchweih. After only a few practices, our dancers fell back
into the groove and made us proud that night. It was a
great mix of dances and the dancers looked so bright
and colourful with their flowers and ribbons. The Kindergruppe had us all smiling as they performed a few
of their favourite dances. Then the Jugendgruppe had
the crowd clapping along as we enjoyed some of their
signature dances.
There was also an additional performance by the Kindergruppe and Jugendgruppe dancers that represented
our group in California. All dancers had to learn the
other group’s dances. It was quite the feat considering ages of the children. What a fun surprise to see the
girls lift and spin the boys!
Our groups are always growing and changing.
Some dancers are not returning to our group this
fall. Congratulations to Angele, as she moves on to
become a member of the Schwaben dancers. As well,
we want to wish Owen, Madison, Jessica, Jayne,
Maddy, Evan, Jenna, Christopher, and Melanie all the
best as they pursue other interests.
We would like to welcome our newest dancer, Cordelia to the Kindergruppe. New members are always
welcome, so if you know of any families who are
interested please contact me at:

Unfortunately with the passing of Rolf Eberl’s mother,
Elisabeth, we were unable to attend Kirchweih. Our
heartfelt condolences go out to him and his family.
I heard it was a great evening and everyone performed
wonderfully!
We are getting ready for our performances around
KW, Mississauga and of course, Oktoberfest!
Don’t forget we have our Halloween Fundraiser – Friday October 30th – at 8 pm – come dressed for some
wonderful prizes! Dirty Old Men, a great rock and
roll band, will be entertaining everyone. Look forward to seeing you there!
