Ich hoffe, Ihr hattet alle einen
wunderschönen Weihnachtsfest und
wünsche ein Frohes und Gesundes Neues
Jahr.
Ich möchte mich bei allen für die Ehre Euch
über die nächsten zwei Jahre als Eure
Präsidentin zu repräsentieren bedanken.
Ich hoffe, ich werde die hohen Erwartungen
derjenigen erfüllen, die für mich gewählt
haben und über Zeit auch diejenigen
überzeugen, die nicht für mich gestimmt
haben.
Ich werde einen Vorschlagsbox vor unserem
Office aufstellen lassen. Wir haben eine
riesige Menge an Erfahrung und Wissen
innerhalb unseres Clubs, wovon wir
profitieren können, aber es gibt auch einige
unter uns, die sich nicht wohl füllen, ihre
Gedanken auch zu äußern. Ich möchte jeden
die Möglichkeit geben, etwas zum Club
beitragen zu können.
Gemäß unserer "Bylaws" müssen alle
"Chairpersons" am Jahresende von ihrem
Amt zurücktreten. Ich möchten jeden bitten,
der Interesse daran hat, an einem
Kommittee zu dienen, sich bei mir zu
melden.
In diesem Jahr werden wir vier Gartenfests
haben. Es ist also wichtig, dass jeder mit
anpackt und hierbei hilft, damit sie ein
Erfolg werden. Sie finden am 17. Januar,
21. Februar, 13. März und am 17. April
statt.
Unser diesjähriger Maskenball findet am
30ten Januar statt. Ich freue mich, Euch
alle in Eurem Wilden West Kostüme zu
sehen.
Joyce Amann, Präsidentin

music he so generously provided
for us all afternoon. It contributed
greatly to the Christmas atmosphere. Thanks again Peter.

enough Thank You that I can say

The next Edison Parade preparations are underway and your assistance is
needed. The current parade float needs to be disassembled and a new one needs to be
built. If you can spare some time for the GASC, please come and get involved. This
will be a good way for new members to meet new friends. Any interested persons,
please contact Chris Kaelin at chrisincc@yahoo.com or text at 239-565-6952. Any time
that I can spare, I will be available for destruction/construction.
The theme for the next float will be The Bavarian Bier Garten. We will need to
construct a Maypole, benches, tables and the resemblance of buildings.
So, mark your calendars for February
20, 2016 and come help us show what a
great club the German American Social Club is!
