THIS ARTICLE WAS POSTED ON THE DVHH SITE OCTOBER 2008  

    The Donauschwaben Villages Helping Hands (DVHH) recognized the people and organizations which made possible our participation in the Landesverband der Donauschwaben (LUSA) annual events.  Our collaboration with LUSA helps to promote the mission of the DVHH and bring it to the Donauschwaben Club members.  What better place to present the DVHH Certificates of Appreciation but at the Landestrachtenfest mit Wettbewerb 2008 in Cleveland? Some of us attended the Presidents meeting held on Sunday, Aug 30, 2008; and after a nice introduction of the DVHH by Leo Mayer, Hans Martini, DVHH Board Director, presented the following certificates . . .

Dr. Thomas C. Thornton

Webmaster, Landesverband der Donauschwaben, USA
Webmaster, Mansfield Liederkranz

 From the beginning Dr. Tom has been a wonderful advocate for the DVHH, and paved the way for our participation with the LUSA.

"Our collaborations can only enhance the drive to promote & preserve the Donauschwaben heritage."
- Tom Thornton

Leo Mayer

Landesverband der Donauschwaben President.

    Leo is serving his last term as LUSA President, but he will not be out of reach.  He leaves behind a legacy that will be remembered, especially with the DVHH folks. We presented Leo with a certificate of appreciation and we are also proud to count him as a DVHH member.

Jakob Hunsinger

President of the Mansfield Liederkranz

    Jakob was instrumental in helping the DVHH coordinate its first appearance with the LUSA event in Mansfield, 2007.  The unity of the Mansfield Liederkranz represents what type of leader Jakob is. We were made to feel very welcome.

Franz Rimpf

President of the Donauschwaben
German-American Cultural Center

    Franz accepted the certificate on behalf of the club at the Landestrachtenfest mit Wettbewerb 2008.  The club was very generous to the DVHH in providing us a great booth location and set up; thanks goes out to all involved, especially Mina Rimpf, Ingrid Dorr and Franz Rimpf.

Linda McKenna

DVHH Mansfield Host

Presented by Nancy Fredenberg

    As our first LUSA event host, we asked a lot of Linda and she delivered much much more than we asked!  She had a lot going on in her personal life and she planned and organized around it all, even after her home was flooded the week before the event, due to rain storms!  We couldn't have done it without her.

Hans Kopp

DVHH Cleveland Host

Presented by Beth Tolfree

    As a long time member of the Donauschwaben German-American Cultural Center in Cleveland and LUSA, Hans was ready, willing and able to help during our planning. Thank you, Hans, for your assistance and your DVHH membership support.

    Thank you all for your service and support to the DVHH.  I would like to thank Nancy Fredenberg for  initiating the certificates, as well as the design and production.

Best Regards,

Jody McKim
