Es ist kaum zu glauben, die Haelfte des Jahres 2014 ist vergangen und Oktoberfest steht vor der Tuer! Der Haupt-Vorstand ist schon fleissig am planen und organisieren, damit wir hoffentlich wieder ein erfolgreiches Oktoberfest haben! Der kalte Fruehling lies erst spaet zu, dass unser Garten am Patio zu einer Augenweide verschoenert werden konnte. Dazu geht ein herzliches Dankeschoen an Mathias Schuster und Karl Braun fuer diese Blumenpracht, die sie jaehrlich mit Fleiss hinzaubern! Ein Danke geht auch an die Concordia-Gruppen, Die Patio-Eroeffnung war gut besucht und fuer musikalische Unterhaltung sorgt die “Transylvania Hofbraeu Band”. Mit fast sommerlichem Wetter, wurde es am Abend doch etwas kuehl und die Gaeste konnten in der Schenke weiter gemuetlich zusammen sein. 3 Danke an die Outdoor-Gruppe die mit der Spende eines Kamerasystems es dem Bar und Bedienungspersonal ermoeglichen, die Gaeste bestens zu versorgen. Das Fruehlings-Picknick und Fussball-Tournament war leider im kleineren Kreise, doch man muss bedenken, das einige Veranstaltungen Schlag auf Schlag folgten. Es waere natuerlich zu wuenschen, dass alle Concordia-Gruppen, Mitglieder und Gaeste diese Veranstaltungen unterstuetzen! Das “Long Range Planning” Komitee ist dabei, einen Termin fuer die “Tischrunde-Diskussion” festzulegen. Der Termin wird Ihnen natuerlich bekanntgegeben! Wenn Sie Vorschlaege oder Komentare haben, hinterlassen Sie eine Nachricht im Klubbuero oder lassen Sie das Komitee davon wissen. Weitere Termine: 22. Juli Pig Roast u. Patio Party 9. August Sommerpicknick und Bocce Tournament auf der Farm 16. August Chor-Picknick auf der Farm 27. August Halbjahres-Versammlung in der Halle 19:30 Uhr Einen schoenen Sommer wuenscht Ihnen Ihr Praesident Rob Kerr President’s Report It is hard to believe that half of the year has gone by and that Oktoberfest is only months away. The main board is already planning and organizing for this year’s festivities. The cold spring weather kept us out of the gardens until after the May long weekend this year. We are very fortunate to have 2 men so dedicated to the upkeep and beautification of our club properties. Thank you to Mathias Schuster and Karl Braun who prepared and planted all the beautiful plants that we have adorning our gardens. A thank you also goes out to all the groups for their generous donation towards the purchase of the flowers. The patio opening was well attended by our members and guests who were entertained by the Transylvania Hofbrau Band. The day was beauti- YOUR COMFORT IN RETIREMENT 483 and 507 OTTAWA STREET SOUTH, KITCHENER, ONTARIO Mailing Address: 483 Ottawa Street S., Kitchener, Ontario N2M 5H1 Tel.

We would like to thank the Outdoor group for the donation of a camera system that enable the bar and wait staff in the Schenke to serve our customers more efficiently. The Concordia spring picnic and soccer tournament were held with a smaller attendance than anticipated. We must remember that the events that are put on by the Concordia Club are for all of our members and we ask that you support as many club groups and events in order to strengthen our club. We are in the early stages of the long range planning committee and are starting the round table discussions. We have some topics that we are currently looking at and will report on our findings on an ongoing basis. This process is not an easy one and we do not have all the solutions. Please forward any suggestions or comments to 5 the office that may help this committee in their decision making. You will notice a new big screen TV in the Schenke. We ask that you invite your friends to join you to watch the World Cup of soccer or any other sporting events and enjoy our new addition. Upcoming events: July 22nd - Pig Roast and Patio party August 9th - Summer Picnic and Bocce tournament at the farm August 16th - Choir Picnic at the farm Please do not forget the Semi Annual Meeting on August 27th at 7:30 pm in our hall Your President, Rob Kerr From the Manager’s Desk Summer and the Patio We had another great turn out for our annual Patio Opening! We were a bit concerned in the morning as the rain passed through but the sun came out just in time for everyone to come together and enjoy the evening. I hope that we continue to see so many of you out enjoying the summer patio season for lunch or dinner. A HUGE thank you to Karl Braun, Matt Schuster & Horst Wiesner for their dedication in keeping our property looking good! The flower beds and fields of grass need constant attention and these gentlemen volunteer their time and work hard to see that the watering and grass cutting is done to keep it looking fabulous all summer long! Of course we can’t forget to thank the groups for their generous donations towards the purchase of all the flowers! I would also like to thank the Outdoor Group for their generous donation of a camera for the patio. This should make it easier for the wait staff and bartender to see who is arriving on the patio from the bar area in the Schenke. Very thoughtful and much appreciated! On Tuesday, July 22nd we will be having our second annual Pig Roast and Summer Patio Party! Hopefully this year the weather will cooperate a bit better and we will be able to actu- ally have it on the patio instead of having to move in to the Schenke. Last year we didn’t have a large enough pig to portion so this year we will be sure to have enough pork for your fork! We will of course have entertainment again this year. Hope to see you all there to enjoy the evening. Addition to the Schenke Once you receive this issue of the bulletin you may have already had the chance to enjoy watching the World Cup on our new TV in the Schenke! We are very excited about having the TV in place for the World Cup games and hope that it will become an added feature that will continue to draw more of our members and guests in to enjoy a meal and a nice cold beer. Our intent is not to turn the Schenke into a sports bar but simply to try and enhance, attract and encourage our members to come to the Schenke more. Oktoberfest We are well under way with the planning for Oktoberfest 2014!!! The on line admission ticket sales went very well again this year. Showing us that we are the place to come for a great Oktoberfest experience. As usual, the Friday and Saturday nights are sold out but we still have tickets available through our on line system for the family days as well as the Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The job applications for Oktoberfest will be available for pick up any time after July 2nd here in the office or at the front desk. We always need a lot of staff for all departments so if you know of anyone looking to work Oktoberfest please let them know that they can come in and fill out an application. I wish you all a wonderful summer! Ruth Rajna, Manager 6 We have live music, Barbecue pig (donated by the Eisstock Group) and more authentic German food. Bring out your visitors from Germany to a Bier Garden in Canada. July 22, 2014 at the Concordia Club Patio. Party starts at 5:00 pm. 7 CONCORDIA CHOIR Concordia Chöre Es ist offiziell! Martin Anderle ist unser neuer Chorleiter! Nach einer Abstimmung im Vorstand wurde Martin ein Angebot gezeigt und er hat akzeptiert. Wir danken Marianne Kelly für ihre Leitung durch den Frühling und für unser Frühjahrskonzert. Wir hatten unseren Goulaschabend am Home on the Range. Es war schönes Wetter für unsere letzte Chorprobe des Jahres. Vielen Dank an alle diejenigen, die bei der Vorbereitung und bei der Veranstaltung halfen. Der Chor hat fuer Joerg and Else’s 50th Hochzeitstag gesungen. Wenn jemand eine besondere VeranstaItung hat, lass den Vorstand wissen und wir koennen fuer euch singen. Wir machen einige Ausflüge. Unsere Fahrt ins Blaue ist am 13. September 2014. Es wird eine große Reise sein, aber, ach der alte Witz, was ist unser Ziel und niemand redet wenn ich frage wohin. Vielleicht könnte ich sie bestechen? Mit Geld? Durch das Singen? Ich glaube nicht, dass das helfen würde. Unser Chor Picknick ist Samstag 16. August 2014. Kommt alle! Wir werden wieder die großen DJ-Dienste FlipSide haben und dazu: Berühmte Silent Auction Berühmtes Chicken Dinner um 18:00 Berühmte Kinder Spiele Berühmte Wurfbude und Berühmten Spass! It’s official! Martin Anderle is our new choir director! After a board vote, Martin was presented with an offer and he excitedly accepted. Thank you to Marianne Kelly for conducting us through the springtime and for our Spring Concert and the concert in Hamilton. We had our Goulaschabend at the Home on the Range. It was beautiful weather for our last choir practice of the year. Thanks to all those who helped with preparation and at the event. The choir sang for Joerg and Else’s 50th Anniversary. If any choir member has a special celebration, let the board know and we may be able to sing for you! We have some trips coming up. Our Fahrt ins Blaue is September 13, 2014. It is going to be a big trip but, ah the old joke, I always ask about our destination and nobody wants to talk. Maybe I could bribe them? With money? By singing? I don’t think that would help. Our choir picnic is Saturday August 16, 2014. Come one come all! We again will be having the great DJ services of FlipSide along with our: Famous Silent Auction Famous Chicken Dinner at 6pm Famous Kids Games Famous Wurfbude and Famous Fun! Hope to see you all! Wir hoffen, euch alle zu sehen! Chor startet wieder am 11. August 2014. Choir starts again August 11, 2014. Haben Sie einen guten Sommer!

Will Eis Stock-Group Good Day to all of you, The first tournament of the Ontario Open Club Masters, season 2014, has taken place at the Concordia Lanes on May 10th. We did start with 4 Teams including our new members of the Icestock Federation the Kingston & Area Icestock Club lead by Karl Hammer jr., the other Teams are of the Concordia Icestock Group the Bayern Club and the Cambridge Icestock Club, just the members of the Milton Athletics were missing. The weather was fantastic the lanes super prepared and the mood of the players rose with every shot, finally summer has arrived and Asphalt Season is on. Playing outside in shorts and have a sun tanning in the same time is just one of the good things. The Game went on with a lot of fun, even our Kingston team playing for the first time on asphalt had some trick shot’s up the sleeve. After round one everything was still open, no winner in sight. During the half time break some players decided to have a sit down with a beer at the Schenke, others enjoyed the sun and used the time to check on their equipment. Round two became more and more interesting resulting in a Heartbeat final between Bayern Club and Concordia, although Kingston and Cambridge where fighting with fantastic shots in between, missing out on luck at the end, here are the final results: 1. Concordia 8pts 1.506 coefficient 2. Bayern Club 8pts 1.420 3. Kingston & Area 6pts 1.459 4. Cambridge 4pts 0.581 It was a Saturday with a lot of nice and memorable moments, Icestock brings people together and it is fantastic to see how all ages even our youngsters with their little stocks enjoy the sport. We look forward to the second Tournament on June 8th 2014, an official invitation will go out separate.

They told us that about 66 percent of people or more are NOT prepared for an emergency in case of disaster or if they have to evacuate their home or have no power for days. In our group only one person had an emergency / evacuation kit. One should know their risks and make a plan for their family. One should be prepared at all times for at least 72 hours. You can go to www.GetPrepared.ca. This web site will tell you what you need and how to be prepared. This was a real eye opener for us. One June 25, we will have had our Ladies Group Picnic at the home of Karin Starck. On August 18, we will be leaving for our trip along the St. Lawrence River, stopping at four major cities. Please make sure you are at the September meeting, so you can put your name down for the dates you wish to work during Oktoberfest. Senioren-Gruppe Wir trafen uns am 4. Juni in der Jaegerstube. Anwesend waren 17 Mitglieder. Unsere Agenda fing punektlich um 14.30 Uhr an. Da wir keine Post hatten und sonst auch nicht viel Neues zu berichten war, gingen wir gleich zum vorlesen des Kassenberichtes ueber. Da stimmt im Moment alles, so langsam waechst unser Konto. Allerdings brauchen wir etwas Geld fuer unser Picknick am 25. Juni auf der Farm - Regentag ist der 26. Wir hoffen auf schoenes Wetter, bisher hatten wir eigentlich immer Glueck. Es wurde dann mal wieder ganz gemuetlich, Heidi spielte Klavier, wir sangen “Happy Birthday” obwohl gar keiner Geburtstag hatte--- OOPS !! Wie immer gibt’s Wuerstchen - man wuenschte sich Frankfurter - und Huehnerkeule, das schmeckt immer so gut gegrillt. Unser Compliment dem Klub fuer die Blumenpracht am Klubhaus. Wie immer, auch dieses Jahr wieder ganz toll. Ich verabschiede mich mit einem Lieblings Zitat von Wilhelm Busch November will be upon us sooner than we think, so ladies, please think about the crafts you wish to make for our bazaar. Wenn alles sitzen bliebe, was wir in Hass und Liebe On that note I wish you all a wonderful and safe summer.

Congratulations to Team Malthaner for being the 2014 Soccer champions, and thanks to everyone else who participated. Our next event is the Canada Day Celebration on June 28th, which may have already taken place when you read this. (I hope you were there!) It’s hard to believe, but our Summer Picnic and Bocce Tournament is coming up on August 9th, I hope to see lots of Campers, and non-campers out to enjoy all the Farm has to offer! For the Campers, a reminder that our annual meeting will be held on August 10, 11am at the pavilion. For those wondering about the status of both the bridge, and the pool, if you log into the club website, and go to the farm page, there is a link for a bridge report that also has the pool status. That’s it for now, hope everyone is having a great summer!!! Bruce Emmerson City of Kitchener Award Barristers & Solicitors, Notaries Public Suite 604, 30 Duke Street, W.

Dennoch wird an den kommenden Trainingsabenden weiter fleissig und ehrgeizig gespielt. Our Group’s annual table tennis tournament is now behind us. That means that playing „just-for-fun“ is once again the top priority. But that doen’t mean that the competitve spirit will go missing during our regular practice nights. Das gibt allen Interessierten aus unseren anderen Gruppen die Gelegenheit, einmal bei uns vorbei zu schauen. Die Pokalgewinner unseres diesjaehrigen Turniers sind: 1. Platz: Stefan Babic, 2. Platz: John Mayer, 3. Platz: Ivo Babic. Herzliche Glueckwuensche gehen an die drei Erstplatzierten und ein Dankeschoen an alle anderen Teilnehmer, die diesen Wettkampf bis zum Schluss so spannend gemacht haben. Da Stefan Babic unser Turnier wieder gewonnen hat, wird Hans Malthaner wie im letzten Jahr die Pokalverleihung an unserem Picknick vornehmen. Fuer unser Picknick am Samstag, 19.

Mai besprochen, werden wir auch in diesem Jahr wieder eine Tombola durchfuehren. Also denkt bitte daran, einen Preis im Werte von $ 10.00 bis $ 15.00 beizusteuern. Klaus Basler wird mit „chicken & ribs“ auch in diesem Jahr wieder fuer unser leibliches Wohl sorgen. 25 We would like to invite and welcome all our other Club members to stop by on Thursday nights and try the game. Our trophy winners of this year are: 1. Place: Stefan Babic; 2. Place: John Mayer; 3. Place: Ivo Babic. Our congratulations go to the three winners and a hearty thank you to all other participants. Our annual picnic will take place on Saturday, July 19, at our usual spot, the „Home on the Range“ at the Concordia Farm. Stefan Babic will look after all necessary permits, e.g. SOP, insurance etc. This year’s trophy presentation will be conducted by Hans Malthaner again since Stefan and Ivo Babic, will both receive a trophy. Following tradition, and as discussed in our meeting of May 22, there will be a raffle. So please remember to bring along a prize, valued between $10 and $15. The food will be supplied by Klaus Basler in the form of his famous „chicken & ribs“. Last but not least, we send our best wishes to Ferdel Staab for a speedy recovery.
