Die Vorbereitungen sind immer anstrenged und nervenaufreibend. Bitte endschuldigt, wenn manche Personen eine protzige Antwort auf ihre Fragen bekommen haben. Unsere Gesetzgeber finden jedes Jahr neue Vorschriften und machen für 3 uns den Auf- und Abbau im Zelt immer schwieriger. In 3 Wochen ist alles wieder weggeräumt und mann kann sich wieder erholen. Wir hoffen wieder auf ein erfolgreiches Oktoberfest, ohne grosse Zwischenfälle und Probleme. Ein ausführlicher Bericht über das Oktoberfest 2013 folgt im nächsten Nachrichtenblatt. Der Volkstrauertag findet am 17. November auf dem Woodland Friedhof statt, anschliessend Kaffee und Kuchen im Schwaben Klub. Euer Präsident Karl Braun President’s Report By the time you read this Bulletin, Oktoberfest will be over and everything will have been put away for another year. While very important and valued, the preparations are always stressful for the people that are involved with the set up and take down of our tent. This year, our Health and Safety representative tried to make it harder to complete the set up and take down. It is impossible to keep people out of the tent, especially our members and staff, while there is work Barristers & Solicitors, Notaries Public Suite 604, 30 Duke Street, W.

The workers for the groups should understand that they are putting the person in charge from the Concordia Club in a very difficult position. We just hope everything goes smoothly and without major incidents. My full report of the outcome for this year’s Oktoberfest will be in the next Bulletin. Reminder: The German Remembrance Day event is on November 17th at the Woodland Cemetery, and afterwards there will be Coffee and Cake at the Schwaben Club.

Aber auch wenn es nichts zu berichten gibt, will ich den Bericht nicht ausfallen lassen und erfreue Euch daher alle mit einem Gedicht. DIE ENTWICKLUNG DER MENSCHHEIT von Erich Kaestner Campers Greetings! My first priority in this report, is to apologize for a couple of omissions from October's report. I missed two people in the list of Camper’s Committee members, Alex Thoene, and Tony Savage. Sorry about that!!! Einst haben die Kerls auf den Baeumen gehockt, Behaart und mit boeser Visage; Dann hat man sie aus dem Urwald gelockt Und die Welt asphaltiert und aufgestockt, Bis zur dreissigsten Etage. The camping season has now come to a close for 2013, I hope everyone has already winterized their trailer. Da sassen sie nun, den Floehen entflohn, In zentralgeheitzten Raeumen. Das sitzen sie nun am Telefon, Und es hersscht noch genau derselbe Ton Wie seinerzeit auf den Baeumen. Over the winter, the Camper’s Committee will be meeting, and planning events, and improvements to the recreational facilities at the Farm. We’re always open to new or improved ideas and suggestions. Please feel free to email them to [email protected], or drop them off at the club. So haben Sie mit dem Kopf und dem Mund Den Fortschritt der Menschheit geschaffen. Doch davon mal abgesehen und Bei Lichte betrachtet, sind sie im Grund Noch immer die alten Affen. Ursula Harfmann Schriftfuehrerin 7 Our Halloween Party was a great success, with lots of great costumes, and some great talent. Special thanks goes out to Andrew (Musik Meister) Saur who kept us entertained when everyone else was too shy! Keep those special moments in your life present with a completely customized photo book or calendar you will treasure forever. Call us today for more details. 13-31 McBrine Dr., Kitchener, ON T 519.748.0363 email: [email protected] Concordia Chöre Alle guten Dinge müssen zu einem Ende kommen. Es ist mit großer Trauer verkünden zu müssen, dass unser geliebtes und bekanntestes Mitglied der Concordia Chöre, Dr. Alfred Kunz, von seiner Position als Leiter zurückgetreten ist. Er wird nicht mehr die Concordia Chöre dirigieren. Alfred, zusammen mit seiner Frau Dana, hat seinen Rücktritt im Oktober 2013 verkündet. Der Vorstand akzeptierte seinen Rücktritt und teilte dies dem Chor am Montag den 7. Oktober mit. Obwohl er nicht mehr dirigieren wird, werden Alfred und Dana immer ein Teil der Chorfamilie sein, und wir werden sie auf vielen Veranstaltungen in der Zukunft sehen. Wir alle haben großen Respekt für ihn. Er hat die Concordia Chöre fuer 47 Jahre geleitet, aber jetzt fängt ein neuer Abschnitt an. The Show must go on! Der Chor Vorstand sucht einen neuen Dirigenten und alle Veranstaltungen werden wie geplant stattfinden. Wir danken Ulrike Ryzebol und Annemarie Kruger im Voraus für ihre Hilfe als Dirigenten. Marisa Strban wird ebenfalls zur Verfügung stehen uns am Klavier zu begleiten. Im Namen der Concordia Chöre, wünsche ich Alfred viel Erfolg im Ruhestand! Wir hatten unser Oktoberfest und es ging ganz gut. Viele haben geholfen, die Buden aufzubauen. Wir haben neue Dekorationen! Ich weiss, dass es immer schwerer wird zu helfen und wir bedanken uns im Voraus. Kommende Daten: November 17, Woodland Cemetery, 2.30pm Dezember 7, Christkindlmarkt Dezember 15, Weihnachtskonzert, 7.30pm Lied Hoch, Andre Schilha CONCORDIA CHOIRS All good things must come to an end. It is with great sadness to announce that our beloved and most well-known member of the Concordia Choirs, Dr. Alfred Kunz, has resigned from his position as conductor. He will no longer be conducting the Concordia Choirs. Alfred, along with his wife Dana, tendered his resignation in October 2013. The choir board accepted his resignation 8 and announced this to the choir on Monday, October 7. This being said, Alfred and Dana will always be part of the Concordia Choirs family, and we will be seeing them on many occasions in the future. We all have deep respect for him as he conducted the Concordia Choirs for 47 years, but a new chapter has started. Since the show must go on, I am writing this before our Oktoberfest. Many have been working hard to set up the booths. Thanks to all who helped with the booths both in setup and in running them. We have some newer decorations! We all know it’s getting tougher to run them so any help is greatly appreciated. The Show must go on! Upcoming dates: The choir board is looking for a new conductor and all events will continue as planned. We thank Ulrike Ryzebol and Annemarie Kruger in advance for their conducting skills. Marisa Strban will also be available to accompany. November 17, Woodland Cemetery, 2:30pm On behalf of the Concordia Choirs, I wish Alfred the best of success and relaxation in his retirement years. 9 December 7, Christkindlmarkt December 15, Christmas Concert, 7:30pm Yours in song, Andre Schilha Concordia Soccer Group The 2013 soccer season came to an end on Sunday October 6th with a 2-0 win in the cup final. The Concordia team finished an impressive year, winning three major titles: League Champions, Playoff Champions and Challenge Cup victors. It truly was a extraordinary year for the team. They ended up winning every possible trophy. We will be heading to the league banquet on Saturday, November 2nd to pick up all the hardware. In addition to the previously mentioned awards, we also won the title of most sports- manlike team as we received only 2 yellow cards during the entire season. I would like to thank Ike, Jack and Nino for all of their help on the sidelines this year. A big thank you goes out to our president Dieter for his leadership and support. Lastly, I would like to thank the players for their hard work and dedication to each other this year. They can hold their heads high and should be very proud of doing the treble. We will have big targets on our backs next season but this group will be ready for the challenge. Gerard 10 Treffpunkt Once you see this, Oktoberfest will be long over. We hope everyone enjoyed themselves and that all the groups, including the Club itself, enjoyed a profitable Oktoberfest. Early in October the Treffpunkt journeyed on a Wine Tour in Niagara Region. 3 wineries were visited and much wine was ‘eingekauft’! First stop was Di Profio Wines. Next was Pillitteri Estates Winery. And last, but not least Reif Estate Winery was visited. All tours were very interesting as well as very tasty! Thank you Dietmar for your tireless planning and organizing for such a fantastic day. See pictures. Since most of us are too busy for a Thanksgiving dinner, we are all looking forward to a gathering after Oktoberfest is finished and all the clean up is done. As usual, the Hatchwells are hosting, and we anticipate lots of great food and drink to celebrate. See you at the next Club event - Stiftungsfest. Don’t forget to keep up the Blood Donations. We are almost at our target number of donations, and hope to surpass the goal! Dietmar 11 has acquired a few prizes already for our draw in January. Anyone who has donated more than twice is eligible to win something! Keep up the good work, and be sure to use our Partners for Life number: CONC010846. Sandra Ladies Group Christmas time is just around the corner and everyone is busy baking, shopping and crafting. We hope that all our ladies are busy baking and or making crafts for the bazaar. Hope to see all our Concordia Club members and friends at our Bazaar!!! Elisabeth Rowsell Well the Ladies Group Bazaar is also nearly here.
