Dear Babs,

Nope, the German Club is not a senior thing. We have many younger members that grew up in the German Club. Others younger members joined because they had friends in the Club. Our next meeting will be held at the Rapid City Fire Department Main Station Training Room (East Blvd. and Main) on Friday July 20th. The meeting begins at 7:30 PM. Stop by and say 'hello' and pick up a membership application. You can also send your name and mailing address to rushmoregermanclub@gmail.com and we'll send you a membership application.

Thanks

Randy

Note to Members

Dear Members,

Want to be notified of updates to the Rushmore German Club web-site? Send your email address to rushmoregermanclub@gmail.com. Keep up with club announcements and events.

Coming Soon: Members Only Section containing - Constitution - Bylaws - Meeting Minutes - Announcements - Membership List. This section will not be available to the public.

As you may have noticed, so far the web-site is in the building stage...in other words it's a little rough around the edges. Travis tells me he has one more page to finalize, so check back frequently over the next few days for a more finished version. Ya might even see a photo or two of yourself! ;)

Feel free to post your comments. Just click on the 'comments' link below the blog article. That reminds me...what does 'blog' mean anyway?

Note to the Membership

Dear Members,

I stopped by Best-Buy today and found a display model CD Player at quite a discount! It can play 3 CD's and has a cassette player. It's MP3 compatible. It's not a 'boom-box' so we can't use it on bus trips or small functions, so I talked them into a good deal on a portable boom box that plays CDs and cassettes. Didn't even come close to the $250.00 authorization. We'll use the new system at Schunkelfest!

The July General Membership meeting location has been changed to the Main Fire Station Training Room instead of the Moose Club. This due to a large wedding being held at the Moose. We hope to have Travis give us a tour of our web site.

SCHUNKELFEST!

Schunkel-what?

Schunkelfest! So...what exactly does that mean? It comes from the word, "Schunkeln" which is easier to say than:

Die Bezeichnung eines Tanzes des Publikums zur Volksmusik oder anderen gesellschaftlichen Festen, wie zum Beispiel dem Karneval. Dabei wird sich mit den Armen zumeist im Sitzen untergehakt und der Oberkörper im Takt bewegt.

uh...yeah. Those Germans have a word for everything. For those of you who don't understand a lick of German, basically you lock your elbows with your neighbor and sway to the music in the spirit of fun and camaraderie.


So meet us in downtown Rapid City on June 29 & 30 at the Festival of Presidents and Schunkel with the Presidents!
