Sprechen Sie deutsch? Noch nicht? Es kommt! Es ist hier!
Und jetzt es ist fertig! Bis Herbst!
The new "Introductory Conversational German" class that began on Tuesday, November 13th, at 7:00 P.M. Classes was completed on Tuesday, March 26th. Please Click here for more info! Janet Price, German language instructor at Roncalli High School, has been our instructor for this Introductory level class. Prior knowledge of the German language is not required. That's what these classes are for. Membership in The German-American Klub is not required. We love getting non-members involved in our activities.
We are putting the classes on hold for the duration of Summer. It is quite difficult to maintain classes during the Summer months with travel and vacations interrupting the schedule. We are hoping to restart the classes later in the year; perhaps in the late Summer or early Fall; possibly after the Oktoberfest. Check back for updated information on the very popular German language classes.

LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MEN!
The GAK has an obligation to repair the soccer fields of damage caused by car traffic at last year's Oktoberfest. We have a pile of dirt that needs to be spread on the tire ruts and then seeded. Our Boy Scout friends started the job last Saturday during the Park Cleanup day, but it needs to be finished soon so the grass can grow in time for the soccer tournament this summer. We are looking for several guys to pitch in and help spread dirt. Please bring shovels, rakes and wheel barrows, if you have them. It should only take a couple of hours, at most! Thanks.
Date: Sunday, April 14, Time: 1:00 p.m. If you can volunteer, please contact Ken Green, TGAK president, at Kenneth.A.Green@rolls-royce.com

Edelweiß - Hopping Weekends
Picture this. You drive into German Park only to discover a full Edelweiss parking lot. Assuming you'd have to wait on a table, you opt to head out rather than head in. What you didn't realize, however, is that the parking lot was full of wedding reception attendees enjoying themselves in the ballroom, but down the the restaurant and in the Biergarten, only a few guests populated tables. During spring and summer, this is common for Edelweiß. So, if you head our way on a Friday or Saturday night and face a relatively full parking lot, find a spot and head on in to the restaurant; we're eager to serve you. Chef Ron has brought in some new Biers to tempt your tastebuds, and for those of you who loved the Korbinian, rest assured he has stocked up. Put Edelweiß on your "To Do" list this week. Remember, we are open Tuesday - Saturday from 5 - 9 p.m.
Final Saturday Buffet
Although the Wednesday buffet will continue, the final night for the Saturday buffet of the season has passed. Our busiest months are now upon us. We have many bookings for wedding receptions, company parties, and large gatherings. It is simply too tedious to tend to those necessities and still have time to prepare a Saturday buffet. These will probably resume after the Oktoberfest. Meanwhile, we are still plunging ahead with our very popular Wednesday buffets. The cost is only $12.95 ($11.95 for GAK members and their guests, children eat for half-price), for a scrumptious 'all you can eat' buffet. Hope to see you and your friends at a buffet soon.
German Wines
Although we always have select German and domestic wines in stock, our new liquor distributor has introduced us to some exclusive imports. Try a standard glass of wine for $3.75 per glass or try out one of these higher-end German wines for a mere $8 per glass. Personally, I was amazed at the difference between the standard Riesling and the higher-end, much dryer Riesling. Indulge your palate on your next visit.
Baby, It's Cold OutsideThe temperatures might be sub-zero outside, but we have a warm, cozy restaurant ready to serve you this week. Remember, Friday nights feature Polka Bob. We also have quite a few new Biers and, of course, those incredible pretzels.
See you this weekend at Edelweiß Restaurant
German American Mardi Gras AssociationEdelweiß Restaurant Chef Ron and his wife (me) spent the weekend in Las Vegas attending GAMGA (German American Mardi Gras Association). In addition to celebrating Mardi Gras with nearly 600 German American Klub members from individual klubs across the United States and Canada, Ron spent a great deal of time talking about his favorite topic... food. Does he have ideas for the Wednesday and Saturday night buffets as well as some pretty exciting specials! Although we will share lots of information about the GAMGA experience, including how members can get involved in this annual Las Vegas event, in the February newsletter, put Edelweiß on your list of "To Do" items this week and head on over to the restaurant.
Membership
I know I am driving you crazy with the renewal reminders. Please send in your 2013 membership renewal forms with payment ASAP. We need to have an accurate count of 2013 members within the next few weeks. Membership renewal forms are available in the restaurant, or click here to print out your own form. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me (Denise) via email or at the restaurant on Wednesday or Saturday nights (in person or at 889-4060). See you at Edelweiß this weekend.
Member Communication
The weekly e-mailed update has served several purposes. First, members seem to know what's going on so much more. Secondly, members have had a specific person to e-mail with questions, concerns, and comments. Although I am a lifetime member, the membership chair, and volunteer at the Klub all the time, I don't necessarily have all the answers to your questions, but I want you to feel free to send them. If I cannot help you directly, I will forward your e-mail (while copying you) or print and hand-deliver your email to someone who can. Feel free to use this e-mail as a contact point.
Edelweiß Restaurant
Picture this: You're relaxing in the warm restaurant, frosty mug in hand, and preparing to bite into a juicy bratwurst. You might even opt to top off that brat with kraut and onions. From the long list of side items, you could choose cold coleslaw and piping hot french fries served European style with mayo.
Buffet:
Wednesday evenings between 5 – 9 P.M. Our Wednesday buffets are still making headlines. This fabulous buffet is only $11.95 for members and $12.95 for non-members (although members dining with friends and family who are non-members all get the benefit of the lower price). And kids eat for half-price ! Look for chef’s fabulous specialty salads and some new buffet items to tickle your taste buds.
