Bericht des Präsidenten
Ich hoffe, jeder hatte
ein frohes Osterfest
mit Familie und

Ein herzliches Dankeschön an alle Mitglieder, für die Unterstützung bei der
Wahl als Präsident.
Auch ein Danke an
alle, die bei der Jahresversammlung
sich an der Diskussion beteiligten und
eine Entscheidung
betreff der Farm getroffen haben.
Das Resultat der Präsidentenwahl hat mir
gezeigt, dass ich in der Vergangenheit, mit

Klub geleistet habe. Ich versuche, dass auch in
Zukunft in jeder Beziehung alles zum Wohle
des Klubs und der Mitglieder getan wird.
Willkommen, Andrew Saur in den Vorstand,

Brasch, Alex Thoene, Rolf Malthaner, Helmut
Kruschat und Michelle Zimmer, die wieder in

President’s Report
I hope that everyone has enjoyed a safe and
happy Easter holiday and spent some well
deserved time with their loved ones.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to all the membership for electing me to a third term to serve
as your president. The love and support that
you show to Janice and I reinforces our passion to represent such a great group of people.
I must also thank you for enduring such a long
annual general meeting, we needed to get
items settled and the discussions that surrounded them were necessary so that all the
members in attendance could make the best,
most educated decision on such an important
matter (the farm).
In looking at the results of the vote for the
presidency the membership has given me a
sign that the work that the board and myself
have done over the past year and the plans
that we have for the next year are going in the
direction that is favourable to them. I promise
that we will make all decisions with the best
interest of the club in mind and that everything will be done in a transparent nature so
that the members can see our progression at
any stage of the year.

I would like to welcome Andrew Sauer to the
board. Your bubbly personality and strong
work ethic will be a welcomed by our board. I
would also like to welcome Martin Patzold
back to the board after a one year absence. My
congratulations also goes out to Michael
Brasch, Alex Thoene, Rolf Malthaner, Helmut
Kruschat and Michelle Zimmer who will join
me again to lead this club for another year.
Thank you to Marcus Kallweit and Ronny
Horvath for your years of service on the board
of directors and we wish you well in your
future endeavours. Your voices of reason
always helped us make the right decisions.
Thank you to Ruth, Martina and Andreas for
their continued focus on the day to day operations of the Concordia club. The continued
growth of our business would also not be possible without the support of all the staff
(whether they are in the foreground or back-
5
ground). Thank you for helping us exceed our
customers expectations and keep them returning to our facility.
We will be looking at the 50th anniversary of
Oktoberfest here at the club as well as preparing for our 150th anniversary as a club. These
are only a few of the endeavours that we will
be starting this year and would solicit any
help from the membership to plan these
events.
Some of the upcoming events that I hope to
see you at are:
- Bockbierfest and the crowning of Miss
Concordia on April 9th
- Home on the range clean-up at the farm on
April 23rd
- Farm clean-up on April 24th
- The choir spring concert on May 1 in the
main hall
- Members Oktoberfest ticket sale on May
3rd
- Annual club clean-up on May 7th

Hoping that some beautiful spring weather
will grace us soon,
Your president, Rob Kerr

Bavarian Strongman Challenge
We will be hosting the Bavarian
Strongman Challenge in the tent for the
first time this year! In the past this event
had been held outside at Kitchener City
Hall but due to King Street construction
and challenges with the weather, the
organizers approached us with the hope
of moving the event indoors. I believe this
is a great opportunity for us to open the
tent for an afternoon of Oktoberfest celebrations! The tent will be open on
Saturday, October 8th from 11:00 a.m. to
4:00p.m. with all the great food, beer and
entertainment that we have every other
day of the festival but will include the
added bonus of the Strongman
Competition. Tickets will be sold at $5.00
per person with free admission for children under the age of 12. These tickets
will be available for purchase in the club
office as well as on our online ticket system.

Our winter getaway to Collingwood included plans for some outdoor fun but unfortunately the rain put a damper on those activities. We did however have a fantastic time
and some of our activities included a winery tour and hike of the vineyards at
Georgian Hills Winery, a brewery tour, playing games, relaxation at the Scandinave Spa
and an all around wonderful time with great
friends! Thank you Sandra for organizing
this great trip and to all who went for your
contributions of food and good company!
We are running full steam ahead for our
upcoming Fruhlingsfest on May 14th in the
main hall. Please save the date and come
out for a fun evening of music, food, dancing, a silent auction, and more!
Some of our group members came out for
Maskenball and shared photos of their fantastic costumes! Looks like it was a lot of
fun!
Plans for a mystery tour in April are being
organized by Diane and Andrew Hatchwell.
We look forward to whatever they have in
store for us!

It’s been a while since I needed to put an
article into the bulletin. It’s early March and
the temperatures are well above normal. As
I look out my front window I can see more
grass than snow. This can only mean one
thing. Spring is in the air and the Concordia
soccer team are wiping the dust off their
outdoor soccer shoes in anticipation of the
upcoming season.
As a coach I really love this time of the year.
The players are excited. You get to see the
guys again and best of all we are still
unbeaten.
I will be in touch in the next bulletin with a
copy of the schedule for our 2016 season.

Tischtennis Gruppe
Wie bereits im letzten Mitteilungsblatt zu
lesen war, fuehren wir auch dieses Jahr kein
Tournament durch. Daher laufen die
Trainingsabende etwas ruhiger ab und fuer
mich gibt es nicht viel zu berichten.
Am 28. April werden wir eine Gruppenversammlung zur Klaerung offener Fragen bezueglich des kommenden Oktoberfestes und
einer Bustour anstelle des Picknicks durchfuehren. Bitte merkt euch diesen Termin vor.
Als weitere Programmvorschau bleibt mir
nur der Hinweis auf das Bockbierfest der
Frauengruppe am 09. April. Beginn ist
18:30 Uhr. Das Bockbierfest ist ein klares
Anzeichen, dass der Winter wohl hinter uns
liegt. Den Termin fuer die Reinigung des
Klubgebaeudes Anfang Mai werde ich im
naechsten Bericht noch bekanntgeben.
Those of you that read the bulletin from
cover to cover will find a listing a number of
upcoming Club events in the April Preview.
The Bockbierfest is clear indication that the
winter months will soon be behind us.
Please note that the annual clean-up of the
Club grounds will take place at the beginning of May.
Our Annual General Meeting is now behind
us and the results are by now common
knowledge. We wish the newly elected Club
Executive all the best for the 2016/17 season.
...And lastly, I hope every one of you had a
nice Easter holiday.
Until next time,
Eckhard Michalski
Die Jahreshauptversammlung mit den Vorstandswahlen liegt hinter uns. Das Ergebnis
ist uns allen bekannt. Wir wuenschen dem
Hauptvorstand fuer das Jahr 2016/17 alles
Gute und ein sicheres Gespuer fuer die
richtigen Entscheidungen.
Zum Abschluss hoffe ich, dass ihr alle ein
schoenes Osterfest verlebt habt.
TABLE TENNIS GROUP
As already mentioned in our last bulletin
there is no table tennis tournament this
year. Therefore there is hardly anything to
report.
On April 28, 2016 we will have our „Special
Meeting“ to discuss important questions
regarding changes to the Oktoberfest „gungame“ and the bus tour instead of our annual picnic at the Farm.

Well it is hard to believe that another bowling season is coming to an end this month.
Time sure flies by when you are having fun.
We had a “Valentine Fun Night” with prizes
on February 12th. We bowled with our
opposite hand, tried granny bowling and
then bowled with a partner. Music was provided by Peter Uebel. Thank you so very
much for putting a great collection of songs
together for us, Peter. It is always greatly
appreciated. As I write this report, our playoffs have yet to take place. I will share the
results next time.
Our bowlers’ year end trip is taking place on
Sunday, July 31st. We will be visiting The
Cheese Boutique followed by brunch at The
Hot House and finishing the day with the
Cirque du Soleil
performance, Luzia.
It should be a great
day in Toronto.
Closing Banquet –
May 6th (Main Hall – 5:30p.m.)
*Please Note: This is a Friday!
Finally, best wishes go out to our bowlers
who are celebrating a birthday this month:

Until next time,

At this point, the
bowlers would like
to extend our condolences to Anne
Schmidt who lost
her beloved husband, Rudi, on
February 22nd. Our
thoughts
and
prayers are with
you and the family
at this most difficult
time.

Concordia Chöre
We have danced and sung at the President's
Ball, so now its time to celebrate spring.
Over the land is April
Over my heart a rose
Over the high green mountain
The sound of music goes
Say love do you hear me?
Hear my sonnets ring?
Over the high green mountain
Love do you hear me sing?
Robert Louis Stevenson
Yes it has arrived in all it's beauty and
splendour. What could signal the beginning
of spring more than a wonderful concert.
To all member's of the Concordia Club, their
families and friend's please accept this as
our personal invitation to attend our annual
SPRING CONCERT Sunday May 1st at 7pm.
We have been working hard all winter and
look forward to performing for you.
Our MALE CHOIR has received an invitation from Harfentone to participate in their
Maifest which will be held May 14th in
Toronto.
When someone we knew becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. It is
with
sadness
we
report the passing of a
former member of the
Concordia Choir, Mr.
Alfred Chopka, on
February 22, 2016.
Alfred joined the choir
in l993 and sang in
both the Male and
Mixed Choirs until
2011. He was 94 years
25
of age at his passing. We extend to his family and friends our deepest sympathy.
Our thoughts and prayers remain with Joe
Harde as he continues to recover from a fall.
We miss you Joe and hope that you will be
well enough to join us in the near future.
Herbert Weisner is also away for medical
reasons. Please know Herb we are all thinking of you and hope that you too will soon
return. That tenor section is missing you
both.
