Dear Members!
Treasurer:
Our slow season is winding down, and we're looking forward to welcoming all our
snowbirds back to the flock! Our committee chairs have been busy preparing for
Oktoberfest, and I hope all of our members have signed up to volunteer.
Mary Edgar
Secretary:
The grounds are being made ready for Oktoberfest, and I especially want to thank
Jean Nagy for all the hard work painting our tables in the Garten. She's been
working on them almost daily for the past couple months, and the place has never
looked so festive!
Susie Zimmer-Sullivan
Past President:
Hubert Prem
Director:
Congratulations on another wonderful Ms. Oktoberfest pageant, and we're happy
to have Ms. Scarlett Conrad representing us this season.
Teresa Kohl
Director:
As we continue to work hard for our Club, remember that a smile is
just as contagious as a frown.
Which would you prefer to catch?

Liebe Mitglieder!
Director:
Die Sommerzeit neigt sich langsam dem Ende zu und wir freuen uns darauf, unsere
Snowbirds wieder in der Gemeinde begrüssen zu können. Unsere Komitees sind
damit beschäftigt, alles für das bevorstehende Oktoberfest vorzubereiten und ich
hoffe, dass sich alle Mitglieder bereits als freiwillige Helfer registriert haben.

Unser Gelände ist bereit für das Oktoberfest. Mein spezieller Dank gilt Jean Nagy
für ihren unermüdlichen Einsatz beim Streichen der Gartentische. Sie arbeitet fast
täglich und das schon seit ein paar Monaten und der Garten und die Tische haben
noch niemals so einladend ausgesehen!
Glückwunsch auch zu einem weiteren gelungenen Ms. Oktoberfest Wettbewerb. Wir
sind sehr erfreut darüber, dass Scarlett Conrad uns dieses Jahr repräsentiert.
Und weil wir weiterhin hart für den Club arbeiten, denkt immer daran, ein Lächeln
ist genau so ansteckend wie ein finsterer Blick. Was wäre euch lieber zu sehen?

Sunshine
Sunshine Report – September 2016
We will keep the following friends and
members in our thoughts and prayers for their
recovery:
Frank Gressley had surgery on July 19, 2016.
Frank and wife, Sandra, work in the kitchen
on Wednesdays and the 3rd Friday of the
month. He is recovering nicely at home and is
anxious to return to the kitchen.
Harry Reifschneider, Anzeiger editor, had been
very ill with pneumonia. After 3 weeks of
treatment, he is now well and back to his daily
routine.
Ruth Nastepniak had a biopsy done last
Thurs, August 7th and is awaiting results. She
is in good spirits and hasn’t curtailed any of
her activities. Her son, John, watches over her,
as does God.
Our sympathy and condolences go out to:
Ermelinde (Linda) Schroeder on the sudden
death of her daughter, Renee Rupert, June 10,
2016 as a result of a mid-line aneurysm.
Renee had been her mother’s transportation to
the Club since the death of Linda’s husband,
Werner, in March of 2015. Renee was a
massage therapist and leaves 3 young
children. Linda hopes to continue coming to
the Club when her son is able to bring her as
she enjoys visiting with her many friends here.
Susie St. Onge on the death of her daughter,
Erica, on July 30, 2016. Her daughter leaves
four children. Susie has recently joined the bar
crew. The Celebration of Life for Erica was
held in early August.
Family and friends gathered at Coral Ridge
Cemetery on July 9th to put to rest Hannelore
Brown. She shared her time and talents with
her loving family, the war effort, her work and
her dedication to the GASC. Her happy and
kind demeanor will be sorely missed by all of
us.
Gerd Trebing passed away on June 16, 2016
after a long battle with cancer. He was in
Germany at the time and was laid to rest
there. Gerd was a 26 year member of the Club
and active in the Pancake Kitchen during
Oktoberfests and Gartenfests. He will be
missed by his family and friends.
Please help us to notify members of illnesses or
deaths by contacting any of the names below
prior to the monthly meeting. Thank you

Short Info about the Election of our Officers or Directors
Our Bylaws give us clear instructions on the process and when the elections are held. Please
review your copy of the bylaws you received when you joined the club.
In accordance to article VI.D., the election of officers or directors takes place at the regularly
scheduled December membership meeting prior to the business meeting.
Article VII.C. states that officers or directors are elected for a two year period and may be
reelected for another two year term.
Article VII.E.2.says clearly what qualifications a candidate requires to be nominated for
election. The person must have been an active Club member for at least twenty-four
consecutive months and have served on a Club committee for at least 12 months or have been
a chairman or assistant chairman of any “Other” committee listed in the bylaws for a period
of twelve months.
Article XI. regulates the duties of the five-member nominating committee and how it is
selected. The nominating committee, one member of whom is selected by the President, two
of whom are selected by the Board in July, and two of whom are selected from among the
members at the August general meeting, select a slate of eligible candidates from among the
members at the October membership meeting. They in turn hand the slate to the already
nominated judge of election, upon which the committee is then discharged.
Each candidate has an opportunity at the October meeting to address the membership for a
period not to exceed two minutes. No other verbal presentation or vote solicitation is allowed.
Article XI.G. states that within 10 days following the October meeting, each candidate must
provide an individual photograph and pertinent biographical outline, which is then published
in the November and December issues of the Anzeiger and posted on the bulletin board.
This is a summary of the information found in the bylaws. If you would like more details,
please refer to the aforementioned articles in your copy of the document.
Joyce Amann, President
Editors Note:
All candidates, please send in your picture and Bio for the election, not later than October 17th,
to be published in the Anzeiger for November and December.
Thank you!

We had a very busy summer. Every Wednesday morning we meet here at our club for friendship
and crafts, we mainly produce useful and also fun items in knitting and crocheting and beading
etc.
As of this writing our day trip to St. Petersburg on August 21, has not happened yet.
I will report later on how great it was (always the optimist).
Thank you very much to all the GALS that are working at the garden and the tent booths for the
Oktoberfest without you we would not be a part of this important event for the club.
At our September meeting on Wednesday, September 14th, we will have Claudia Jones a
Community Service Representative as our Speaker, who comes to us from "Home lnstead".
We invite everyone to join us for some very important life changing information which could
possibly affect many of us.
