Dear Friends,
Welcome to our Fahnenweihe Celebration! The creation of our new flag which depicts our ethnic background and traditions as well as our club life as it is today, is undoubtedly one of the most important events in our club’s history. We are happy that all of you are celebrating with us this weekend.
Many members have worked diligently for over a year to prepare for this special occasion. Hopefully, our hard work has brought us closer together and now that you are here, we hope that this time together will bring us closer too.
Friendship is one of the most important things in our lives. All who are here, have similarities that bind us together. When we leave here, we go to that part of our lives which is separate from our club life and we look forward to returning to our friends and the camaraderie with which we are so familiar. We celebrate many happy times together and some times we must suffer the sad times together. The key word is “together” for if we are not together we will fail as a community, as a club, as a family and as friends. When our Fahnenweihe celebration is over, I hope that many will have made new friendships. Carry them in your hearts forever!
I am honored to serve as our club’s Fahnenmutter and look forward to celebrating this happy occasion with you.
Emily Fricker
