Our Women’s Auxiliary has been busy. They take care of our monthly Schnitzel Night with the help of some of our men and naturally many of the women and some dancers of our Cultural Group. They also support other German American clubs by attending their events. We attended the Donauschwaben Penny Party in March, the V. E. Fashion show and Luncheon in April, the Cannstatter Frauen-Verein’s Mother’s Day Luncheon in May, and the Phoenix Ladies Auxiliary Annual Fashion Show and Dinner also in May. The Women are also members of our various Boards, Executive Board, Board of Governors and Committee and Group Chairmen. More about this group in a future edition.
Happy Birthday to Kim Walter who recently celebrated her 50th birthday among family and friends and especially to her son Nick who celebrated his 21st!
