PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Dear Members,
We had a great month of April at the Club. We welcome
members to the dinners, and enjoy their company. Many
thanks to Eric Zabel and Stephen Hicks for the Jazz night “New
York 1948”. It was a great evening, and we look forward to the
continuing theme. Come enjoy a Saturday evening at the
Weinstube and see the new décor. We congratulate the Ladies
Division, who recently celebrated an appreciation Dinner at the
Club.
The outside of the Club is coming to life with flowers and
preparations for our famous summer events. Many thanks to
the members who have already volunteered so much time and
energy in getting the Club spruced up. Our big Spring Cleanup starts with a Kitchen Clean-up day on Tuesday, April 28th,
and the outdoor Clean-up day is Saturday May 2nd. We hope
to see you there. The Man and Woman of the Year will be
named on Saturday, May 9th in the Hall. Please come out and
show your support.
The summer kicks off with the “Fahrt ins Blaue” Bus trip to
Ellis Island on Sunday, May 17th, which will include a meal at
a German restaurant. See the inside of the bulletin for details.
May 24th is the Frühlingsfest, followed by the first Biergarten
on June 5th. If you can volunteer, please let us know by emailing a note to [email protected] or by calling Carl
Hagmueller or Eric Zabel, or letting any Board member know.
Your volunteerism is very much appreciated and is a vital
ingredient of making the Club and our events what they are.
Many congratulations to Karin Glorious-Patrick, who is the
recipient of the Scholarship trip to visit and study in Germany
this summer. We wish her and her Family well, and look
forward to hearing about her experiences.
We are currently accepting applications for the next Miss
Deutscher Club, which will be awarded in June at the Waldfest.
Many thanks to Lexi Zabel, our current Miss Deutscher Club,
and for her representation during the year.
We look forward to seeing you at the Club and at the events,
and please don’t forget to volunteer!
Mit freundlichen Grüssen;
Chris Wagner

THANK YOU, STEPHEN HICKS!
LADIES DIVISION NEWS
Our talented decorator, Stephen, works tirelessly to enhance
many occasions with the appropriate decoration. The “1948
New York Night” was outstanding, with everyone attending
having to pass through the “border control” of “Officer” Hicks,
and only then, admittance was granted. Of course, everyone
was trying to dress in the style of those days long gone and the
band put on a “really good show” – it was a fun evening!
But, it does not stop here! Check out the Weinstube and view
Stephen’s contributions of three stuffed animal heads high up
on the wall! He not only donated them, but he also climbed on
the tall ladder and hung them up, as well as the six small
antlers which were donated by Rosmarie Geertsma, for which
we say “thank you” also!
Stephen, we gratefully appreciate your talent and dedication to
keeping our Club deutsch! Thank you from the bottom
of our heart!
The Ladies Division will once again be holding their
annual Flea Market at the August Sommerfest. This
year, however, we will not be accepting donations until
June 1st, no exceptions. As in the past, all donations
should be clean, not broken and if there are parts to it,
all parts should be included. The festival is August 9th.
All donations must be brought in by August 2nd (one
week before the festival). No donations will be
accepted after that date to give the ladies a chance to
price our treasures. Your adherence to the above would
be very much appreciated. Thank you.

CONGRATULATIONS!
The Foundation/Scholarship Committee has successfully
selected a winner for our summer study in Germany.
After serious discussion and evaluation, the committee
has awarded this wonderful study program to Karin
Glorius-Patrick, a senior at Watchung Hills Regional HS,
the daughter of James and Annette. Annette is a parttime waitress at the DC, and comes for special affairs and
very busy occasions. Karin is a super candidate for this
award: she attended the Union Sprachschule for 10 years;
danced as a Bavarian Folkdancer; is working on her Girl
Scout Gold Award (equivalent to the boys Eagle Scout
Award). At the High School, she took German up to
German 4 and has been accepted at numerous colleges in
the US, but would like to attend a German University, if
accepted. From the applications which we received, she
was our unanimous candidate and we are sure she will
make us proud as a representative of the DC.
