We celebrated the Dance Group's 60th anniversary last night. Who could have know that something that started so modestly would become the mainstay of the Donau Schwabian culture and heritage. Thousands have worn trachts and vests over the years and that tradition lives on yet today because of the foresight of one man and those that diligently oversee his flock today. For that we are immensely thankful. Father Rettig gave a moving homily to begin the evening's events and a number of attendees have asked that I share it with you."Please click here for a copy."

 

Paul & Angela Fruhner, this year's Koenigsball King & Queen, would also like to thank all of those that so willingly gave of their time to decorate, make cookies and otherwise organize this year's successful event. To see pictures of the event, please click here. Lastly we would like to thank both Albert & Virginia Becker for volunteering their time and considerable skills to offer family portraits to everyone at the event. They freely gave of themselves to ensure that this year's anniversary was special. You may see the portraits by going to www.virginiabecker.smugmug.com. Virginia and Albert are volunteer photographers who go out into our communities and trying to provide as many families and individuals as possible with free portraits.
