Informationen über den finanziellen Abschluss kann ich zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch nicht geben, werde dies aber im nächsten Nachrichtenblatt nachholen. Danke an das gesamte Personal, die Gruppen und alle Helfer, denn ohne diese Leute, wäre so eine Veranstaltung wie Oktoberfest nicht möglich. Damit wird auch unsere 3 deutsche Kultur und Tradition erhalten! Vielen Dank! Am 7. November feiert der Concordia Klub seinen Geburtstag und wir nähern uns immer mehr, dem 150. Jubilaeum. Am 14. November ist die 49. Eröffnung der Narrenzunft, mit Krönung des Prinzenpaares, in der Halle! Am 15. November ist Volkstrauertag, organisiert von der Rememberance Society auf dem Woodland Friedhof. Kaffee und Kuchen ist anschliessend im Alpenklub! Damit sind wir schon im Dezember mit: “Christkindl Market”, Weihnachtskonzert der Concordia Choere, Senioren Weihnachtsfeier und viele private Weihnachtsfeiern. Ich wünsche Ihnen gute Erholung von den Strapazen des Oktoberfestes und hoffe Sie bei den Klubveranstaltungen zu sehen. element of surprise for this evening as the group will also welcome a new prince and princess. Who will this new couple be? Ihr Klubpraesident Sunday November 15th will be the German Remembrance day service at Woodland cemetery. A reception will follow at the Alpine Club. Rob Kerr President’s Report Oktoberfest has ended for another year and we have packed away all of our booths, bars and equipment for another year. As the tent is being dismantled we can rest easier as another Oktoberfest has been orchestrated here at the Concordia Club. We as members should be proud that people talk about our club from near and far and will do almost anything to be able to attend our Club during this seasonal event. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers who worked tireless hours to make sure that this year’s festival was a successful one. It is you the membership that keeps upholding our culture and traditions so that our German heritage can remain vibrant and we can be a beacon of light here in the community for anyone who choses to embrace it. Our support of each other and our groups will only help solidify our strength and longevity in this community. I do not have any financial information to share with you about Oktoberfest at this time but will be happy to share this information in the next bulletin. On November 7th we will celebrate Stiftungfest in the main hall. I hope to see everyone there to celebrate the birthday of this club as we move closer to our 150th Anniversary. The next weekend will see the Mardi Gras group celebrate their 49th anniversary of their Karneval season opening. There is an November will finish with 2 events that are looked forward to every year. The first will be the Ladies group bazaar. This event will take place on Sunday, November 22 in the main hall. The last event is the children’s Christmas party on Sunday, November 29. December will then bring a very busy month with the Chistkindl market, choir Christmas concert and many Christmas parties. I hope to see all of you at one of the events mentioned above. Please take the month of November to rest and recuperate from our Oktoberfest season and become invigorated for the Festive season that is ahead of us. Your president, Rob Kerr Senioren-Gruppe We discussed our Christmas Party during our last meeting on October 7th. It will take place on December 9th, 2015 at 4:30pm in the Jaegerstube. We have a few birthdays in November to celebrate: Hilde Kreitzer Jochen Missfeldt Kurt Boese Franz Feest Joachim Nanders We wish you all the November November November November November best! 3 3 4 19 25 Our next meeting will be on December 2, at 2:30pm. Rotrud Schaar 4 From the Manager’s Desk New Fire Panel It is Thanksgiving Monday and the Tent, Hall and Schenke are full of patrons enjoying Oktoberfest and we just experienced our first fire alarm with the new panel. The heat sensor in the Tent Kitchen was triggered. With the old panel we would have had to do a full evacuation of the entire facility immediately. The new panel gave us 5 minutes to determine what caused the alarm, investigate and reset the system before it went in to full evacuation mode. The Fire Marshall happened to be on site at the time of the alarm and was very pleased that we followed our evacuation and fire plan to the letter. Thank you to all the staff that assisted in the process. Job well done. Kale Dinner Special Every Fall Chef Andreas prepares a wonderful Kale Dinner Special and this year is no different! The special will run from November 10th to November 14th. Please call the office for reservations and mention that you will be having Kale. Seniors Christmas Dinner For all of our members over the age of 65 we will be having our annual Christmas Dinner. It will be held on Tuesday, December 1st starting at 5:30p.m. The tickets will be available for purchase in the office at a cost of $20.00 per person starting Tuesday, November 10, 2015. A wonderful way to celebrate the season! 5 New Year's Eve 2015 Hard to believe that we will be ringing in another new year! The year 2015 has gone by so quickly. We will be celebrating the evening with a wonderful 5 course dinner and dance. In the past we have sold vouchers in the office ahead of time for $60.00 per person to be applied to the bill the night of the event. This has always caused confusion on New Year's Eve when the bill is presented due to the addition of tax and gratuity added to the bill for the voucher. This year we will be trying a new format for reservations. When you make your reservation we will take your credit card information to hold the reservation but you will not be charged until that evening. However, should you not show that evening, we will have to charge the “no show” fee of $60.00 per person on your card. My hope is this will eliminate any questions and concerns when you receive your bill at the end of the evening. The cost per person is $60.00 per person plus tax and gratuity. Christmas Hours of Operation During the Christmas holidays the Club will be closed from Thursday, December 24th to Monday, December 28th. We will be reopening on Tuesday, December 29th for regular business.

Ladies Group Dear Concordia Members, Unfortunately, it has come to the attention of the board of directors, that there was a member of the Concordia Club who was trying to sell Oktoberfest tickets at a highly inflated price. Well, Oktoberfest is over and I hope that everything went well for all the groups and the club. November is here and a very busy month for our group. We would like to let the membership know, that this will not be tolerated and we will revoke the memberships of any members who are found doing this. On Sunday, November 22 is the Ladies Group Christmas Bazaar and I hope that everyone will come out to buy our crafts, cookies & cakes. It is also nice to just come out for coffee & cake and just visit with friends from the club etc. The doors open at 1:00 pm. Not only is it illegal, but it also tarnishes the reputation of the Concordia Club. This is not acceptable. Concordia Club Board of Directors Liebe Concordia Mitglieder, Leider hat der Hauptvorstand erfahren, dass ein Club-Mitglied Oktoberfest tickets für sehr viel Geld verkaufen wollte. Wir lassen euch alle wissen, das sowas nicht erlaubt ist, und diese Personen werden ihre Mitgliedschaft verlieren! Die Gesetze sind klar und sowas ist verboten. Wir wollen den guten Ruf unseres Klubs nicht schaden und nehmen diese Sache sehr ernst! Concordia Hauptvorstand Also on Sunday, November 29 will be our children’s Christmas Party which takes place at 1:30 pm. If your child is between 1 & 10 years of age, please call the club to register him/her well in advance. All information for the Children’s Christmas Party is advertised in the bulletin. It would be really nice to have many children at the Christmas party. The more the merrier. Santa can hardly wait to meet them. Our Ladies Group Christmas Party will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 2 in the Jaeger Stube. All the best till next month.

We had a wonderful time as always. This year we rented a cottage in Port Carling where we enjoyed great company among friends. On Saturday some of us went into the picturesque town of Port Carling while others stayed back at the cottage and played games. In the evening we had a delicious barbecue where everyone participated in either cooking or cleaning up after. All of our shifts were filled for volunteers in the dunk tank booth. The sign up list was started quite early. Thanks to Monica Gaertner for organizing it so well. Also thank you to everyone who volunteered their time to help make this year another fantastic Oktoberfest at the Concordia Club! A special note regarding our blood donations; Dietmar Kubasta has informed us that so far we have not only met our pledge number for donations, but actually far exceeded it! Thank you to everyone who donated on the behalf of the Concordia Club. Your generous donation will save many lives. If you can donate, please do. Our partners in life number is CONC010846.
