Happy New Year to all members and friends!

Our first meeting of 2025 will include our annual elections. Think about running for an office -- yes, holding an office means a little bit of work, but it actually makes being part of the Verein more fun!  

The dance group will practice for a while, with dance group elections rounding out the hour.    

Sunday, January 12

• 1-2 pm:  Dance Group practice & elections
• 2-4 pm:  Club membership meeting & elections

Hope to see all at the GACC Hall, 40450 Hayes, Clinton Twp.  On Hayes between 17 and 18 Mile Road in the Amore Plaza.  Not a member?  Come and meet us and see what we're all about!

Joseph Paul Kuechle, December 6, 1941 - November 7, 2024

GTEV Edelweiss would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the family of Joseph Kuechle who passed away on November 7, 2024 at the age of 82. Joe was the beloved husband of Mary Ann Kuechle, a father, and grandfather.

Joe was a respected craftsman, a clock repairman, and the shop owner of Clock Works. He also served his fellow craftsmen by supplying clock and watch parts.  His expertise and dedication to the craft earned him a reputation as one of the best clock repairmen in the region. He taught others the craft, mentoring hundreds of students the tradition of clock repair.

A visitation will be held on December 1, 2024 at the Faulman & Walsh Funeral home, 32814 Utica Rd, Fraser MI 48026. There will be a visitation from 1-4 pm and a memorial service will be held at 4 pm. 

Herzliches Beileid!  Ruhe in Frieden.

Start the Christmas season off with a thoughtful and lovely afternoon of music and friendship.  

Catered meal -- cost is $27/person. 12 and under are free.  Contact Sonja about attending.  Tickets must be paid for by November 30!

Short meeting at 2 pm followed by our lovely musical program and a visit from Santa (if you have a little one, please sneak a gift in to put under the tree). Dinner at 4 pm.

Please bring a dessert to share. And a prize to put in the raffle.

Sunday, October 6, the GACC will celebrate German American Day. Come join the fun and help honor this year's German-American of the Year, Heidi Wolff.  Details in the flyer.  To be included at the Edelweiss table, let Rita Dziersk know you're attending!

Do you love Siasswasser Tanzlmusi?  Do you enjoy a good Oktoberfest?  Then this event is for you!  St. Joseph Church in Detroit (right near Eastern Market) has a wonderful Oktoberfest with good food, beer, games, and tours of their beautiful church (well worth it!). And on Saturday, Siasswasser will be playing music from 12-4 pm!  We've danced and played there many years and can almost guarantee that you'll have a terrific day!  Hope to see you there!    www.StJosephOktoberfest.com
