The President’s Report
As said in our last edition, a report will follow in regards to our
Heimatabend and general meeting. Well, Heimatabend was a
success with almost a full house,
and excellent performances by
everyone who took part in it. The
Ernst Stader
food was excellently done by your
ladies, a raffle with tremendous prizes, all in all, a
superb job, and you, Christel, Peter, all helpers,

ing on April, 26 . 2009, was aware of our financial
state at the present time. Suggestions from the
floor on how to increase our revenue were recorded and discussed at the board meeting. An
increase of our membership fee, fundraisers, donations etc. everything was carefully weighed out by
the board of directors, and we came to the following conclusion:
Due to the fact we are in a recession, especially Oshawa has been hard hit with the closing of
the Truck plant, layoffs, closing of so many stores
downtown, nobody knows what the future has in
store. We decided, at least for awhile, to refrain
from increasing our membership fee. There are
other ways to gain revenues, by having fundraisers, more attendance at club events, or the additional donations by our membership and active

and the heimatsinger, a thank you from all of us
for a wonderfull evening.
Our General Meeting, well attended,
sometimes hectic, but generally speaking everything went to order. We discussed how we can
improve our attendance by club events and find
ways to improve our financial state. We all agreed
in one respect, something needs to be done to increase our financial situation. Right now, we are
barely breathing. Suggestions from the floor were
recorded, and promised to be discussed at the next
board meeting, which we did, and by the way, the
entire board from last year volunteered to run club
Loreley business for another year. So I don’t need
to mention everyone, just look at your news letter,
there you will find the board members.
Here are some of the changes, which will
take place in time to come. In reference to the
board meeting on May, 13th 2009, everyone who

groups.
Our Fundraiser this year will be on November
7th 2009 with
“ CONCERT WITH
PETRA BOECK “
This will give every member the opportunity,
first of all, enjoy a beautiful evening with Dinner, Dance and Show, and show your support
for Club Loreley.
Tickets for that event in advance at our members’
5
$ 50.00 Members - $ 55.00 Non Members
We also decided to have some changes at
our “ Christmas Dance” instead of having a live
band as in previous years, (due to the high cost of
bands ) we decided to use our own Disc Jockey,
Ed Albrecht, with his wonderful selection of dance
music. Also a cover charge for members on that
evening will be in place, (excluding all 10, 25 and
50 year members who will be honoured that evening) This will cover partially our expenses for
that evening.
It was also discussed, and unanimously
agreed on by the board of directors, to charge
everyone a user fee for renting our premises for a
memorial service: for members as follows;
$ 300.00 plus tax for renting the hall, $75.00 tablecloths, and $ 35.00 bar service, if required as well
as the cost for dinner or lunch. Non members will
fall under the category of Rental Agreement. Coat
check, as of now will be $1.00 for every coat or
overcoat.
Those are the changes, which will be implemented for the time being, and hopefully our
membership will be in agreement with the decision
of the board of directors.
Spring Fest, unfortunately due to sickness,
my wife and I were not able to attend. It was, I
heard, a wonderful evening with performances by
our youth dancers, music by Ed, and an excellent
dinner by chef Trevor and his staff. I would also
like to congratulate our new Miss Loreley, Allison
Burghardt, and Mini Miss, Abigail Giarrizzo who
were selected to represent Club Loreley for 2010.
Our thanks to outgoing Miss Loreley Chathel
Koepp, and Mini Miss Brianna Wannak, for an
excellent job over the last 12 months. Now both
have more time to concentrate on their duties as
dancers. (More in K.G. report)
The same day, we had our cleanup day, but
it was started early in the morning, and did not interfere with same night activities of the Youth
dancers. Quite a few people turned out, and a lot of
work was done considering the weather was not in
the work had to be done the following days, and
our guys did not mind, and turned up anyway.
The gutter on our back building had to be cleaned,
not an easy task. Cutting and trimming cedar
hedges around our building, cleaning flower beds
and trimming evergreens were completed. Planting
new evergreens in front of the flower beds, staining garbage housing, cleaning windows inside and
outside of the members’ lounge were also done
plus the painting of the front door and wood paneling in the entrance. We also repaired some of the
holes in our parking lot to the best of our ability,
and it does not look too bad. Our club house and
facilities are again upgraded, and ready for another
year full of activities, thanks to the following
members, Joe Friedrich, Rainer Stimming, Peter
Biller, Dieter Keuthen, Tony Haas, Jakob Fischer,
Peter Hennig, Karl Gores, Fritz Kraus, Herb
Albrecht, Rob Rocker, Roy Ebenreth, Wanda Friedrich and Gerda Koepp, also Klaus Walkau will
help out with future products. Unfortunately, I
could not attend due to illness. Of course a Lunch,
and a few drinks were the rewards for everyone in
attendance, this was paid for by the rifle club.
The May Dance, with Club Almrausch shooters
and many of our members, and of course “the
Golden Keys”, was just sensational. A full house,
great atmosphere, excellent food, the shooting gallery, and a big raffle, what more could you ask for.
For the first time in a long time, we had the
Golden Key’s again, and let me tell you, if anyone
can bring a house down, those are the boys. It already started in the morning with the rifle match
against Almrausch from Ottawa. A good lunch
prepared by our ladies from the rifle club, and well
appreciated by Ottawa. This is actually a hectic
day, an all day affair so to speak, and when you
consider some of us are well past their prime, then
there is only one word I would say, congratulations to all of you. The evening went well past 11

Nun, 54Jahre später, auch nicht immer mit derselben Meinung, aber vielleicht etwas Schlauer und

Explanation:
Of the 50 people, who had signed Mr.
Lehnert’s list at the first German dance, organized
by the German Radio Program, 12 men congregated on Sunday, May 15, 1955 to found our Club
and decided on a $2.00 membership fee.
Additional Report.
A committee was struck
to promote membership and to
organize a dance, the cost of
which was defrayed by the
members of the committee.
Memberships were issued during the first year based on the
receipt of the membership fee.

Vice President’s Report
My report this edition
will be very brief as I am
pressed for time during this
busy week before Fiesta. As
busy as I am I just want to
thank the volunteers in advance who helped out at the
Ed Albrecht
Club during this
wonderful
week,
especially the Loreley Youth Dancers, the Ladies
Auxiliary, and all
the volunteers that
helped out with the
Float and the Parade. By the time you read this
Fiesta Week will be over and I hope that many of
you came out and enjoyed themselves. I would
like to thank our 2009-10 Miss Loreley, Alison
Burghardt and Mini Miss Abigayle Giarrizzo and
the driver, Rick who drove them in the Parade. I
would also like to thank Preston trucking for the
use of his truck and driver for the Parade and Hans
Torok for the use of his barn. Without these we
would not have an entry for the
Parade. I understand there are
numerous volunteers that help out
during Fiesta so I want to thank
them all. In the next edition I will
have a more in depth report.
In closing I want to remind
everyone about Summer Fest
which is on August 16th. I hope
that all of our members have a
safe and happy summer.
Ed Albrecht
Membership Treasurer’s Report
We’re getting there!
Thus far 198 out of 255 memberships are paid up for 2009. If
you are reading this and you
dues are still outstanding for
2009 (and in some
cases 2008), please
Brian Dimock
take the time to drop
a cheque in the mail or visit Wanda in
the Member’s Lounge and she will
gladly hold your payment for me. For
those unsure of the dues amount, single
membership is $50.00 and for a couple
or family the fee is $70.00. You can
also find these amounts on the inside of
the front cover of our newsletter, directly below the contact information for
the Membership Treasurer.
By now, Fiesta week has passed but I
would like to take this opportunity to congratulate
our new Miss Loreley Alison Burghardt, and our
new Mini Miss Loreley Abigayle Giarrizzo. I am
sure both of you are so excited over what this next
year will mean to you and your families as you
fulfill your commitment and we at Club Loreley
are excited right along with you.
Special thanks also to our outgoing Miss Loreley
and Mini Miss
Loreley, Chathal
Koepp and
Brieanna Wannack respectively, for your
commitment
over the last
year. You were
both awesome
ambassadors of
Club Loreley
and we are so proud of you.

German Canadian Congress
Germanica 2009, held
at the Concordia Club in
Kitchener on May 16th. was a
total success.
One might ask “what
is meant by Germanica”?
Klaus Walkau
Germanica is put on
every two years under the auspices of the German
Canadian Congress. At this function a number of
individuals, who made a substantial contribution
to our German Culture and Heritage, received their
recognition and were presented with a plaque. The
main speaker for this event was Mr. Ed Buckbee,
who is a long time director of the U.S. Space and
Rocket Center, Huntsville Alabama. His theme
was,
“The contribution Wernher von Braun and his
team made to the U.S. space program”.
One could sense the pride in the audience
when Mr. Buckbee said, “Without the Germans
we could not have done it”. The slide show indicated how confident President Kennedy was in the
German Team, which enabled the U.S. to beat the
Russians to the punch, and scored the first Moon
Landing in 1969.
Different levels of Government were also
in attendance, which could only have a positive
affect when the German Canadian Congress needs
an audience in the future to discuss our cultural
concerns.
Club Loreley was represented by our Club
President Ernst Stader, his wife Helga myself as
well as my wife.

Herman-Kassinger Wanderpokal which was also
won by Oshawa. The next award was the Senior
Wanderpokal that Oshawa also won and the top
shooter was Jakob Fischer. The pistol trophy was
taken by Ottawa but by only a few points. Good
job guys to keep all but one of the trophies here in
Oshawa. Thanks to all who attended the
dance. The next morning we served breakfast to
our guests and some of our members. Breakfast
was organized by Helga who did a great job. After
breakfast we said our goodbyes until next year
when we travel to Ottawa to do it all over
would like to thank Ernie for all his work putting
this weekend together. All the people that supplied the soup, salads, cakes and everything else
we enjoyed. Wanda and Helga for their hard
work. And a special thanks to Margot and Gitta
for helping out. Without all of these people events
like this would not take place.
I have one date for you to mark down and
that is Saturday July 25th at 2pm. This is the day
we will be having our annual Rifle Picnic at the
Club. I hope to see everyone there until then.
Prost!
The 1st K.G. Loreley -Youth Dancers
This will be my last
Youth Dancer report until the
fall. As I sit here (the week before Fiesta week starts) I am
filled with emotion. Our dancers have had such a rewarding
season and now they
Holly Henninger
are so excited to take
part in our Grande Finale –Fiesta Week.
As you look around-there aren’t many
Clubs who offer nightly shows and have
great food and drink. Club Loreley is still
the place to be for a great time and our
Dancers are so proud to be part of it.
We congratulate Miss Loreley- Alison
Burghardt and Mini Miss Abigayle Giarrizzo and thank you for representing Club
Loreley. Special thanks to the Heimat
Singers and Loreley Singers for your performances
during Fiesta Week.
Our dancers and Committee members will
have a well deserved rest over the summer months.
We will have registration on Tuesday, September
8th (the first day of school) and it will be held in
the main hall at the Club from 6:30-8:00pm. Anyone interested must sign up in
person. First scheduled practice will be
Monday September 14th as per usual times. Please
pass it on.
At this time I would like to thank my committee members- Denise, Eric, Jennifer, Linda,
Gabriele and Brian for being such a supportive and
involved
group of people. It has
been a pleasure working
with you.
Special
thanks to Club
Loreley Members and the
Board for your
ongoing support.
Club Loreley is a great place to be and our
Dancers and Dancer families look forward to coming back in the fall and will be perform at Club
Loreley Oktoberfest on September 26th.
Have a safe-yet fun filled summer.
Happy Dancing

The Heimatsänger
Christel Petrowski
By the time you read this
report Father’s Day and Fiesta
Week are both memories.
Remember the club will be
closed for two weeks from, June
28th to July 12th during this time we
Christel
have the permission to use the
Petrowski
premises for practice. Please remember the date, July 09 begin
2:00 pm will be our next practice date. The following week on Wednesday July 15th we’ll have
our picnic at 2:00 pm at the club. Edith will let you
know more about it on our practice day July 09th.
Hope to see you all then.
Now that summer is finally here I wish you
all a very happy, safe summer; whether you stay
home or at your cottage enjoy this gorgeous time it
won’t last for ever.
There was a misinformation on my part in the
May/June paper. Mistakenly I mentioned that there
won’t be any club paper
during the months of July/
August. I don’t know what
made me think that there
wouldn’t be any newsletter
distributed for these
months. I guess I was so
overworked and stressed
out with all the Heimatabend planning which includes a lot of paperwork,
telephone calls, E- mailing, program scheduling
and rescheduling, finding replacements for last
minute cancellations, and volunteers who would
help out with varies tasks, that I wasn’t thinking
straight when I wrote my report. I’m sorry for the
confusion I might have caused.
The Heimatabend went very well. Again
we received many compliments for a program rich
on variety. Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers
who came forward to present their talents, their
songs, stories dances, instrumental music, or just
plain humour.
Thank you all for your contributions for an
evening full of fun. I hope that many of you will
participate again with us in the future.
As you all know Peter Stenz and I worked
together for the last 11 years. We‘re a great team,
believe it or not we both worked all year around
very consistently to make each Heimatabend a
memorial event. Unfortunately I have to admit it’s
getting tougher every year to get people involved
to participate. But somehow we always managed
to find a devoted group of people who come forward year after year to show their talents.
We had some special guests of honour this
year from Echo Germanica Paper. I personally had
the honour to
welcome both of them, Webmaster Rolf Rentmeister and Writer,
Richard Aldermann
(known as Dick. Unfortunately due to a stormy
night with gusty winds and
falling trees that evening, it
caused them to take some
detours to Oshawa; therefore they missed part of
our program. But we’re
glad they made it safely to
Oshawa after all. We thank
them for accepting our invitation.
Thanks to the Heimatsänger Kitchen personnel, Gitta Ruppert,
Margot Turnbull, Maria
Müller, Juli Martinelli, Liesel Nettermann, and
from the Ladies Auxiliary, Marion Sellick; all of
the ladies did an incredible job in the kitchen by
providing a truly traditional German Potato-Salad/
tasty sausages and Sauerkraut the way our mothers
used to make it. The Heimatsänger and Maria Sellick donated all the tasty fancy cakes. I know very
well how stressful it must have been for all you
ladies working in the kitchen, singing with the
Choir, and entertaining the audience with various
sketches and poems on that particular evening. All
you ladies deserve a big hand. Peter and I would
like to thank you all once again for your time and
effort. I’m happy to let you know that most of the
17
kitchen profit, as well as all of the collection intake
has been forwarded to the club.
Peter and I would like also to thank our
M.C. Olaf Rudolph for his presentation. It is always a pleasure working with Olaf, he is a great
guy. What so important to us is that Olaf is extremely flexible in handling last minute program
changes. Each year we have to make several last
minute changes and this year was no different
from previous years. We had a cancellation due to
illness. We also had to add someone to our program on the date of the Heimatabend. Other performers had to be moved up to the top of the program because they had another assignment later
that evening. Of course we made the necessary
changes and for Olaf it was not a big deal. He gave
us a big smile, “No problem” he says one has to be
flexible in situations like this.” Thanks Olaf. Your

help was very much appreciated.
To Ernst Stader our club President, to him
we’re always grateful that he put so much trust in
us to let us plan and handle this entire event.
We’re grateful to our Choirmaster Heinz
Ottinger who worked so hard with us all year long
to get us ready for this special evening. The selection of songs he chose is always well received by
the audience. Many of these songs are well known
to most German speaking people because they’re
passed on from generation to generation. Each of
these songs tells a particular story of our heritage
and Heimatabend is the perfect day to present
them.
To all the dancers, the children and teen performers a very special thanks, It was great to have
you on our program, everyone enjoyed the dancing
and the instrumental presentation ; we’re always
happy to have you on our program to keep up the
tradition.
We’re looking forward to having you again on our
next year’s program to perform in 2010.
To all the many other participants, performers and helpers, I’d like to say that we really
appreciated your input and help. There are too
many of you to call by name. But let me tell you
each one of you was highly appreciated as well as
all the guests who’ve been so generous to us. We
are extremely thankful for their kindness. Without
everyone’s
support there would not be a Heimatabend. It is
needles to say that we forwarded all donations to
our club to cover the expenses of this evening.
Someone asked me, “what expenses”? Here are
just a few of them: for hall cleaning, heating, electricity, water, and laundry bill.
To Gertrud (Gerti) Keller, Elsa and Joe
Kastnermany, many thanks from all us Heimatsänger. You are the most generous people that
we know of. Your kindness was much appreciated.
Only through people like you and the generosity of
our guests will we be able to continue the Heimatabend event free of admission charges that
young and old can enjoy. We are so glad you all
shared this special moment with us. May God
bless you all.

The Ladies Auxiliary Report
Summer has finally
arrived. We the Auxiliary
Girls have been busy the last
few months, baking and serving cake & coffee to our members at the annual meeting also
taking part in the Heimat
Abend with some of our memMarianne Sellick
bers singing and others in a
funny skit, starring John Brunner as the leader of
the Alten Schachtel Club. Thanks John.
At our May meeting we scheduled our Fiesta Week participation. This year we will be
helping Ed Albrecht with clearing the lunch tables
and in the evening, we will be selling our pretzels
fresh from the Scarborough Bakery which we will
be picking up daily. New this year was our
Wurstle Stand at Memorial Park. A big thank you
to our set-up and take-down team – Herb Albrecht,
John Brunner with his little red truck, Victor Lipski, Luke Sellick, Ashley Robertson and Darrin
Sellick. A big thank you to Wagenes Meats for
their generous donation. Our two Hilde’s cooked
and donated the delicious sauerkraut. Also to all
the “Girls” that manned our booth – thank you. Of
course this will be history by the time you read
this but I hope of interest to you. Our hat goes off
to Ed Albrecht for all his hard work so that our
Club can shine in Fiesta Week.
The May dance was attended by some of
Bratwurst & Sauerkraut served by
the Ladies Auxiliary
our group and a great time was had by all, including our guests from Ottawa, The Almrausch Gun
Club, which took home one Trophy, the Birdfeeder and the Raffle Bottle. It was a full house
and congratulations to the Loreley Shooters.
As for an upcoming event, those of you
who are looking for a great day out with the family, pencil in Sunday, July 19th, the Burgenlaender
Clubs’ Anna Picnic at the Evening Bell Park. For
more information about the event the local person
to contact is John Brunner at 905-579-2951. I
know some of our members have had a great time
at this function in the past and will attend
again. On Sunday, Aug. 16th, do not forget about
our Sommerfest at your Club. There will be fun
for all.
Our newest member, Hilde Lamprecht is
celebrating her birthday July 4th as well as Maria
Mueller on July 10th and Ingrid Maier on July

In closing I wish all the members of Club
Loreley and their families a very happy and safe
summer.

11 a.m. in the membership lounge.

Loreley Singers Report
“Wenn man in der Schule sitzt, über
seinen Büchern schwitzt
Und es lacht der Sonnenschein, dann
möcht man draußen sein.
Ist die Schule endlich aus, geh’n die
Helga
Kinder froh nach Haus’
Gausrab
Und der kleine Klaus ruft dem Hänschen hinterher:
Pack die Badehose ein, nimm dein kleines
Schwesterlein und dann nischt wie raus zum
Wannsee. Ja, wir radeln wie der Wind durch den
Grunewald geschwind, und dann sind wir bald am
Wannsee.
Hei, wir tummeln uns im Wasser wie die
Fischlein, das ist fein, und nur deine kleine
Schwester nee, die traut sich nicht hinein.
Pack die Badehose ein, nimm dein kleines
Schwesterlein denn um Acht müssen wir zu Hause
sein………….. “
……just the right song for this coming summer!
And who doesn’t remember Connie Froboess
singing this song!!! All of you out there interested,
and are connected to Internet……..just google
“pack die Badehose ein……”And you come to
lots of websides regarding Connie Froboess and
also her singing this famous song!! ♫ Enjoy!!
So and what else is new??
I had reported that the “Loreley Singers” were
driving to the big City of Toronto on May 9th to
participate in a Concert at the St. Patrick’s Church
with the “Harfentöne” and celebrate their 80th Anniversary. We did all that and we had a most wonderful time.
What a feeling to listen to Choirs and to
sing with our Choir in that big old Church! 80
years “Harfentöne” and 100 years St. Patrick’s
Church. WOW!!!!
On May 30th Olaf and Helga, Joe and
Helga drove to Hamilton to help celebrate another
Anniversary and another WOW. The “Germania
Choir” was 145 years old. Mind you, not one of
the original members made an appearance. But
they sure must have been impressed with the
Everyone demands patience, but very few are
willing to practice it.
Trust is a form of courage.
organization and celebration of their anniversary. 5
Choirs came from all over Ontario to sing and the
rest of the DKSB Choirs showed up with their
flags. Including, of course, our flag. What an event
♫
And closer to home. The Loreley Singers
had their last practice on June 8th. We will be
singing at Fiesta Week at our Club on Tuesday,
June 23 and we will help cleaning tables Tuesday
and Wednesday evening, like we have done for
years now.
Our first singing practice after the summer
will be on Monday, September 12. at 1 pm. Don’t
forget your Christmas music!
But I think, an apology to our singers is in
order. This spring we were a bit mix up with our
yearly Garage/ Bake Sale. After back and forth and
finding a right date, we had settled on the 20.of
June. Now, as you all know, the weather was out
of kilter all week long. So Olaf monitored the
weather news on Friday and found out, that on Saturday (June 20) it was supposed to bring Thunderstorms and heavy Rain fall. So we made an executive decision and canceled the Sale. Olaf called all
the people who had signed up on the sheet. We
then changed the date to September 12.
For everybody that showed up, brought
cakes and found an empty parking lot, the
”Vorstand” apologizes. Please bake again and
come to help on Saturday, 12.September 2009.
And here is another change of date!!
The Singers Picnic at Helga Bodenweber’s little
paradise in Pickering will be held on Tuesday,
July 14th not on Wednesday, July 15th.
Helga’s Theme for this year is “Caribian Holidays”. Let’s all get together with lots of good
food, music and sunshine. (Helga promised !!)
And now I will be closing my report with
all good and best Birthday wishes
to four of our Singers in July ♥♥♥♥ and to three
Singers in August ♥♥♥
Keep well and healthy through the year!
