Here's a fun event that is open to the public and is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.  The Holzhacker Buam's annual Schuhplattler Tanz is being held at Oak Shade Grove in Oregon, Ohio.  Edelweiss dancers will be going to see our friends and to hear our own Siasswasser Tanzlmusi play.  More info in the flyer below. 

For the third year in a row, we'll be roadtripping to Toledo to spend the day with our Patenkind D'Holzhackerbuam of the Bavarian Sports Club. Arrival time at the BSC is 11 am to enjoy a delicious Frühschoppen. After we're all full of good food and drink, it'll be time to have fun dancing (great wooden dance floor), playing music, singing, and socializing together. Wear your Boarisch Gwand and dancing shoes.  Friends from our other Patenkind, Chiemgau Windsor, will be attending, as will the Gauverband's 2. Gauvorplattler Rudy Leschke and his wife Cathy.  With so many enthusiastic Trachtler and friends, it's sure to be another really great afternoon.  See you there! 

If you haven't already let Eric Walker know you're attending, please do so right away so we have an accurate count.

We have canceled the Sunday, Feb. 11, dance practice and meeting.  The weather and driving conditions are bad enough that even Michiganders don't want to venture out.  Stay safe, friends!

Happy New Year to members and friends!  Sunday, January 14, marks the first dance practice and membership meeting of the year.  It's also the day we hold our elections for dance officers and club officers. There's plenty to do and the more workers, the lighter the load for each.  Don't be shy.  Of course, voters are valuable, too.  So be sure to venture out to the meeting (it's always warm in the meeting room, no matter how blustery it is outside!) and have your voice heard.  See you soon!

Edelweiss already has a lot of things planned for 2018 -- the dates have all been added to the events calendar.  So that you can print out a handy one-page list of events -- go over to the Newsletter box on the right and download the file.  Note that the date for the anniversary dinner at Jovan's is confirmed now!
