TWO
GREAT UGH WEEKENDS
Forwarded
From UGH
After many months of planning for some, weeks of preparation for a
few, and two weeks of hard work for all of you, we have finally completed
two great weekends in the history of the German Hungarians.
We were privileged to host two national events on back to back
weekends – the USASA NATIONAL SOCCER CUP FINALS and THE LANDESTREFFEN OF
THE DONAUSCHWABEN OF USA AND CANADA.
People from all across the country and Canada arrived and marveled at
how beautiful OUR club is. They complimented our people for how helpful and
polite everyone is. They were
amazed at how efficiently everything ran.
It has been the hottest summer in more than two decades, with our
grounds as dry as a desert, and we were able to keep our fields green. When
1500 people descended on our home, there was not a drop of rain in the
forecast although usually we have the threat of rain hanging over our heads
for our large events.
We made positive on the spot decisions as issues developed without
any disruption to the events. Our guests left satisfied, with a smile on
their faces knowing they had a good time at a great club.
I am not a big proponent of blowing our own horn, but, you deserve to
walk around with your heads held high and tell everyone who wants to hear:
“I
am a German Hungarian”.
