Board Information
The Board will have options for Membership consideration at tonight’s Membership Meeting at 8 p.m. in the ballroom. Voting should take place this evening, so we need everyone to arrive a little early. You will need to check in with me (Denise Roberts) to verify membership prior to entering the ballroom. Even people who have been around for years need to check in officially so we can record your attendance and verify your membership is current. If you’ve lost your membership card, that’s fine. I will have the master list with me. Your voice is important. As a member, you have a vote, and your spouse / significant other also has a separate vote if officially registered as a member. Please plan to attend. We need to fill those seats to ensure we have a good representation voting on this cornerstone issue tonight.The meeting resulted in dissolution of the existing Board of Directors and acceptance of the entire slate of nominees as the new Board of Directors. This change is effective immediately. Your new Board is comprised of the following individuals:
Patrick Greathouse, Ken Green, Niles Ingalls, Patty Johns, Susan Johnston,
David Ostheimer, Ron Roberts Merrill Simmerman, and Jennifer VetangAppointing new officers will be the first order of business of the new Board at their first orginizational meeting in the very near future. Try to get down to the Edelweiß Restaurant and meet those Board members you don't know yet. Many of them should be getting their feet wet as they move into their new positions and may have a more visible presence.
Edelweiß Restaurant
The biergarten has been hopping lately with new talent performing. Edelweiss and the GAK have “gone to the dogs” over the past two weeks. Last week, GAK members helped handle food for a dog event on the Westside of Indianapolis. This week, the GAK will host a world class dog event on our property, and Chef Ron would like to thank all those members who have volunteered to help. Although dogs and dog owners will swarm the property, plan to visit Edelweiss to enjoy the wonderful food, quenching drinks, and beautiful dogs. You might like to quench your thirst and cool off with a traditional drink comprised of ½ bier and ½ lemonade known in Germany as a "Radler".
The Radler (or "bicyclist") is a Biermischgetränk (beer-based mixed drink) with a long history in German-speaking regions. The invention of the Radler has been widely attributed to the Munich gastronomer Franz Xaver Kugler in 1922. However the recipe for the Radler had been mentioned as early as 1912. Nowadays, the Radler is drunk not only in Bavaria but all across Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Slovenia, Northern Italy and the Republic of Macedonia. During the summer months, Radler is very popular due to its reputation of being a delicious, refreshing thirst-quencher.
Restaurant Hours:
We will continue with our regular restaurant hours of Tuesday through Saturday from 5 – 9 p.m. Remember, Saturday nights often involve banquets and wedding receptions. While the parking lot might appear full, don’t assume the restaurant is overly-busy since many of those guests are occupying the ballroom.
How does a warm, soft Bavarian pretzel, a savory smoked porkchop, a hearty schnitzel, or warm apple strudel sound? In addition to our full menu on Friday and Saturday, we are running drink specials this week to let you try something new; expand those taste bud horizons.
Buffet:
Although the Saturday buffet has closed down for the season, don’t forget to visit us on Wednesday evenings between 5 – 9 P.M. for our Wednesday buffet. This fabulous buffet is only $9.95 for members and $10.95 for non-members (although non-members accompanying members get the benefit of the lower price, too). And kids eat for half-price ! Look for an expansion of chef’s fabulous specialty salads and some new buffet items to tickle your tastebuds.

On Wednesday it usually lists the highlights of the Buffet.
We hope to see you soon.
Drink Specials:
Although we have a wide variety of biers on tap and in the bottle, we have a few on special this week. Although we have lots of draft and bottles far beyond this list -- such as Warsteiner and Warsteiner Dunkel on draft -- ready for you, we also have a few specialty bottles we’d like for you to try.
- Smithwick Irish Ale ($4) (Pronounced: SMITT-ick)
- Julius Echter Hefe Weiß Dunkel ($6 pint) German.
- St. Pauli Girl - Special Dark ($4) German.
- Franziskaner Weißbier ($4) German.
- Guinness Draught ($4) Irish. A good easy-drinking stout with some sweetness and roasted malt present, even a hint of chocolate and coffee in the finish. Not a dry stout here at all.
- Malibu RumPunch ($5) Malibu Coconut Rum, Sprite, Pineapple Juice, Grenadine
Cookbook
We are so incredibly excited about our cookbook, but we need more recipes and more orders before we can ship the book for publishing. If you’ve been putting off going through your cookbook for recipes to submit or placing your order for a cookbook, please don’t delay any longer. You can use the attached submission / order form – regardless of the deadline. If we don’t reach our minimum recipe or orders by today, we’re going to have to return everyone’s paperwork and payments and try again in future years.
Our second Buffet on Saturday will have to be put on hold until later this year. We are entering our busy season and the effort required to put on a second buffet is just too much. We have weddings, receptions, private parties, family reunions and office gatherings. Keep watching this page. After we make it through the Oktoberfest, and perhaps October and November, we can start giving thought to bringing back the second buffet. Meanwhile continue to enjoy the Wednesday night buffet. Hope to see you then !
