2009 AKRON'S RADIO PROGRAM Forwarded
From Akron Donauschwaben, German Family Society Präsident:
Sepp Geiser Since 1981, the German Family Society
has been able to offer their members and the German population in northeast Ohio
a weekly German Radio program called “Die Stimme des Donauparks” (The voice
of the Donaupark). It is on the air every Sunday afternoon, 91.3 FM, from
2 till 4 o’clock, with five alternating announcers, Veronika Fleischer,
Gerhard Kunze, Ernie Schaefer, Gertraud Seigfrid and Lisa Germeister. Since the German program originated, the
German Family Society has been the main contributor to this weekly feature.
This plus the sponsorship by local business and the financial contributions from
faithful listeners enables us to keep this popular feature on the air. VISITING

2009 Donau
Dancers Octoberfest! Forwarded From Kitchener Donauschwaben Joel Wideman Oktoberfest has come
and gone for another year! This
year was especially significant, since it was the 40th Anniversary of K-W’s
version of the great German celebration known as “Oktoberfest”. As in past
years, it was a busy time for all the participating dance groups from all the
German Clubs. The Donau Dancers were no exception. Including our Club, we did
upwards of fifteen performances through the week, and also participated in the
Thanksgiving Day Parade. Once again, Mother Nature was on our
side, providing exceptional weather conditions! Despite a few blisters on some
feet, (and hoarse voices) ..it went off without a hitch! Joel Wideman Secretary - Donau Dancers VISITING

2009 Schwaben
Dancers A
Good Year! Forwarded From Kitchener Donauschwaben Andrea Adam The Schwaben Dancers have been keeping
busy these last few months between weddings, practices, car washes and
performances. This past summer we were happy to celebrate 2 weddings from our
dance group - Jennifer (Harvey) and Michael Offak, and Katelyn (Tschirhart) and
Dave Borch. Congrats you guys! Throughout the summer we held monthly car
washes to fund- raise money for our group. Thanks to everyone who came out and
let us wash your vehicles!! For Labour Day weekend we proudly participated at
Tag der Donauschwaben in Cleveland, Ohio with the Donau Dancers. We performed on
both the Saturday and Sunday, and were able to cheer on our friends from Toronto
in the Dr. Awender competition. It was wonderful to see old friends and meet new
ones. In September we celebrated Kirchweih with our club members. This was a
lovely evening organized by the Frauengruppe. The highlights of the evening
included the dance performances (especially the Kindergruppe performance), the
Rosemary Bush auction, the food, the entertainment and the raffle prizes. This year, KW Oktoberfest celebrated its
40th Anniversary. On the weekend preceding Oktoberfest, Saturday, October 4th,
KW Oktoberfest Inc. hosted the Oktoberfest Expo at the Concordia Tent. The first
portion of the eve- ning consisted of German performances from all of the local
clubs, as well as polka music, German food and of course beer. The second part
of the night was a concert, starring Burton Cummings and Tom Cochrane. The
Schwaben Dancers and the Donau Dancers proudly represented the Schwaben Club. On
the first weekend of Oktoberfest, we were thrilled to welcome our visitors from
Iowa. Rosemary (Harvey) Rehberg, along with the help of Monica Anstett, the
dance groups and the club, organized her folk dance group from the University of
Iowa to come up and partake in our German festival. They performed Friday,
Saturday and Sunday at the Schwaben Club, and also joined the Schwaben Dancers
during their performance of Rheinlander. We had a blast with this fun, energetic
group and look forward to staying in touch Our numerous Oktoberfest performances
through- out KW kept our dance group busy every day of the festival. Our dancers
proudly marched in the parade along with the Kindergruppe, Jugundgruppe, Donau
Dancers, parents and many other club members. We had a great turn out this
year!! Amongst our many performances during Oktoberfest, our dance group also
participated in the first annual “So You Think You Can Folk Dance” competition
on Tuesday, October 14th. This competition consisted of performances by the
local German folk dance groups - and their performances were judged by the guest
dance group from Grainbach. Although the Schwaben Dancers performed
spectacularly, the Transylvania Dance group walked away with the title and
trophy. All of the participants did a great job - and we look forward to next
year’s competition. As a fundraiser, the Schwaben Dancers
created t-shirts to wear and sell - “Polka Hero” - sponsored by local
companies & businesses. T-shirts are still available for $20 each (in select
sizes) - you can contact me at: andrea_kja@hotmail.com if
you’re interested. The Schwaben Dancers are looking forward
to the holidays and 2009! Participants
in the Oktoberfest parade are ready to leave The
Schwaben Dancers and their friends from the University of Iowa Cleveland,
