President’s Report
As you read this report we will have packed
up from another Oktoberfest celebration. We
do not know the final results from this
years’ festivities so I will report on them in
my next bulletin message.
I would like to thank all those that volunteered their time during the festival to help
showcase how great our club is and how
dedicated the membership is to preserving
this tradition. We must continue to support
each other to continue the longevity of this
club.
We will then be starting the holiday season
with the children’s Christmas party on
Sunday, November 30th. Don’t forget to
mark the weekend of December 4-7 on your
calendar as your board of directors and
some special helpers will be at the
Kristkindle Market “warming the insides
“of all those that visit our booth. Hoping to
see everyone at some of the upcoming
events.
Your President,
Rob Kerr

process and we cherish all of you for taking
time to have made this a successful

Treffpunkt
Our group came out together late in
September to set up our Dunk Tank for
another great year of Oktoberfest at the club.
Everyone worked well together early that
Saturday morning. Thank you to Fred
Trautrim for bringing hot coffee for everyone.
We have been kept up to date with the ongoings of the Long Range Planning Committee
and continue to give feedback in hopes of a
resolution that pleases all members of the
club.
We enjoyed wonderful food, song and camaraderie at this years Winzerfest. It was great
to hear the Toronto, Hamilton and Concordia Choirs come together and sing. I was
gleefully surprised to be crowned this years
Weinkönigin. I must thank my husband for
sharing the dance floor with me. Thank you
to all who helped me drink from the goblet
of wine!
After we finish working hard and celebrating Oktoberfest our group looks forward to a
fun filled evening at Stiftungsfest. Hope to
see many of you there!

Concordia Chöre
Wir hatten unser Winzerfest. Unsere beiden
Gastchöre haben uns Spaß gemacht! Sie waren Germania Hamilton und Maennerchor
Harfentöne Toronto. Unsere Dirigenten waren Richard Heinzle vom Harfentoene
Maennerchor Toronto und Linus Press von
Germania Hamilton. Linus dirigiert seit
etwa 40 Jahren, und es war sein Geburtstag!
Sein Chor schenkte ihm einen Geburtstagskuchen, wie Sie im Bild sehen. Meine Frau
Andrea Schilha wurde zur Weinkoenigen
gekroent!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch an sie und ihr
schönes Dirndl. Vielen Dank an alle, die
geholfen haben und auch an Erika Koeckritz
die die schöne Schärpe gemacht hat. Und
denken Sie daran, die Laender, die den
meisten Wein produzieren sind Italien,
Frankreich und Spanien. Diese drei Laender
produzieren die Hälfte des Weines in der
Welt.
Vielen Dank an alle, die mit den Oktoberfest-Buden geholfen haben und beim Erntedankfestzug geholfen haben. Wir schätzen
alle ihre Hilfe bei der Einrichtung und dem
Betrieb der Bude. Ich hoffe, es war angenehm für alle!
Wussten Sie, dass Oktoberfest im Concordia-Club im Jahr 1967 als Jahrhundertprojekt zum 100. Geburtstag Kanadas als
Nation begann?
Auch während des Oktoberfestes, sangen
wir beim German Pioneers Day im Kitchener Rathaus. Etwas Geschichte:
Im Jahr 2000 wurde der Regierung von Ontario die Einführung eines deutschen Pionier Tags durch einen Act des Kitchener
MPP Wayne Wettlaufer vorgeschlagen.
Seitdem wird der Tag in der ganzen Provinz
von Deutsch-Kanadiern gefeiert. Nirgendwo
aber wird er mehr als in Kitchener-Waterloo
gefeiert.
Hier sind einige Termine:
16. November - Volkstrauertag, Woodland
Cemetery, Beginn 14:30 Uhr
6. Dezember - Christkindlmarkt, 18:00 Uhr
14. Dezember - Weihnachtskonzert, 19:30
Uhr
Lied hoch, Andre Schilha
CONCORDIA CHOIRS
We had our Winzerfest. Our two guest
choirs sure made it fun! They were Germania Hamilton and Maennerchor Harfentöne Toronto. Our conductors were Richard
16
Heinzle from Harfentoene Maennerchor
Toronto and Linus Press from Germania
Hamilton. Linus has been conducting about
40 years and it was his birthday! His choir
presented him with a birthday cake as you
see in the picture. My wife Andrea Schilha
was crowned Weinkoenigen also! Congratulations to her and her beautiful dirndl.
Thanks to all that helped and to Erika
Koeckritz who made the beautiful sash.
And remember, the world’s three biggest
wine-making countries are Italy, France and
Spain and they make one-half of the world’s
wine production.
Thank you to all who helped out with the
Oktoberfest booths and walking in the
parade. We all appreciate the help given
with setup and running the booth. I hope it
was all enjoyable for you!
Did you know that Oktoberfest was started
at the Concordia Club in 1967 as a centennial project to celebrate the 100th birthday
of Canada as a nation?
Also for Oktoberfest, we sang at German
Pioneer’s Day at Kitchener City Hall. Some
history:
In 2000, the Ontario Government instituted
German Pioneers Day in an act of parliament proposed by Kitchener MPP Wayne
Wettlaufer. Since then, the day has been celebrated across the province by GermanCanadians and others, but none more vigorously than in Kitchener (formerly Berlin)
and Waterloo, the home of Canada's largest
German-Canadian community.
Here are some upcoming dates:
November 16 – German National Day of
Mourning, Woodland Cemetery, 2:30pm
start
December 6 – Christkindlmarkt, 6:00pm
December 14 – Christmas Concert, 7:30pm
Yours in song, Andre Schilha
Concordia Garden Group
We hope Thanksgiving and Oktoberfest was
enjoyable for all of our members. It is a very
busy time for the Club. The frost held off
until well into October, so gardens continued to bloom .
Edith has continued to reserve a table for
our social get-togethers at the Schenke,
every second Wednesday at 6:00pm. Join us
for a coffee, food or just a visit in our Club’s
Schenke. Our next meeting/social will be
on Wed. November 12th in the Schenke.

3. Schriftfuehrer auf 2 Jahre,
Tischtennis Gruppe
Liebe Tischtennis-Freunde,
Wenn ich diesen Bericht fuer die Novemberausgabe des Nachrichtenblattes schreibe,
drehen sich alle Gedanken um das bevorstehende Oktoberfest. Das Festzelt steht seit
einiger Zeit und unser TT-Stand ist bereits
fertig. Vielen Dank an die zahlreichen Helfer beim Aufbau. Die Arbeitseinteilung fuer
unsere Bude wurde festgelegt und die Oktoberfest-Ausweise wurden bereits ausgehaendigt. Wer von unseren Gruppenmitgliedern im letzten Jahr noch nicht an einem
der Pflichttermine zum „AODA“-Seminar
teilgenommen hatte, konnte (musste) es bis
zum 08. Oktober nachholen. Also: „Auf
geht’s“ auf ein neues Oktoberfest.
Wie bereits in den Jahren zuvor, hoffen wir
wieder auf ein gutes Ergebnis fuer unsere
Gruppe und fuer den gesamten Klub. Wir
wissen, wie wichtig die Einnahmen vom
Oktoberfest fuer unseren Klub sind.
Terminvorausschau:
Unser Concordia Club feiert am 01.
November sein Stiftungsfest in der Halle.
Hoffentlich habt ihr euch eure Karten
rechtzeitig besorgt.
Vorstandswahlen:
Unsere TT-Jahreshauptversammlung ist auf
den 20. November 2014 um 21:00 Uhr (also
nach einer verkuerzten Spielzeit) in der
Jaegerstube festgelegt. Auch in diesem Jahr
stehen Vorstandswahlen an. Bitte erscheint
alle und stellt euch als Kandidaten fuer die
Wahlen zur Verfuegung.
Folgende Vorstandspositionen muessen neu
besetzt werden:
1. Praesident auf 2 Jahre,
2. Kassierer auf 2 Jahre,
Unser Vice-Praesident verbleibt fuer ein
weiteres Jahr im Amt.
Traditionell findet unsere Weihnachtsfeier
jeweils am ersten Samstag im Dezember,
dieses Jahr also am 06. Dezember, in der
Jaegerstube statt. Unsere Feier beginnt um
18:00 Uhr mit einer Cocktailstunde und
freier Getraenkewahl. Nach 19:00 Uhr kostet
jedes Getraenk $ 2.00. Wie in den Jahren
zuvor bitten wir auch in diesem Jahr um
eine Spende fuer die „Food Bank“ im Werte
von ca. $10.00. Es kann auch ein bisschen
mehr sein.
TABLE TENNIS GROUP
Dear Friends,
When I write this report for the November
bulletin everybody has the upcoming
Oktoberfest on his mind. The tent has been
finished a few weeks ago and our TT-Booth
looks good again and is ready for business.
Many thanks go to all helpers for decorating
our booth. The work schedule has been
finalized and everybody knows when he is
on duty. The Oktoberfest passes were handed out and everybody is ready to go. Ferdel
would say: „Aufi geht‘s“.
As always we hope for a successfull
Oktoberfest not only for our TT-Group but
for all the other Groups and especially for
the Concordia Club at large.
Preview:
The Concordia Club is celebrating its
Birthday/Stiftungsfest on November 01.
Hopefully everyone bought his ticket in
time to share the fun with the Concordia
Club Family.
Our annual TT-Group meeting will take
place in the Jaegerstube on November 20.
2014 at 9:00 p.m. (after a shorter practice
20
time in the hall). Since we have elections for
our Group Committee please attend this
meeting and make yourself available as candidates to fill the vacant positions as there
are:
1. President for 2 years,
2. Treasurer for 2 years,
3. Secretary for 2 years.
The Vice-President stays on for another
year.
Traditionally, our Christmas Party goes
down on the first Saturday in December.
This year that day falls on December 06. Our
party will take place in the Jaegerstube, as
usual. Please bring along a donation to the
local food bank in the value of $10.00 or
more. Our party begins at 6:00 pm with
crazy free booze. After 7:00 pm all drinks
will be sold for $ 2.00 each.
Tschuess and „good bye“ until later,

Wir werden es schwer haben die Luecke die
er hinterlaesst zu fuellen.
Ruhe in Frieden Eddi,

Wir moechten allen Hinterbliebenen unser
tiefstes Mitgefuehl aussprechen.
Als seine Freunde bedauern wir diesen
Verlust ausserordentlich, da Eddi aufgrund
seiner lebenslangen verbundenheit mit dem
Sport und unserem Club mehr als nur eine
Respektsperson war, er war vielmehr fuer
viele von uns ein vaeterlicher Freund und
Ratgeber, sein Wort war immer gewuenscht
und gehoert. Viele schoene stunden haben
wir miteinander verbracht und so manche
