President's Message

Dear Members and Friends:

Wishing you all a wonderful start to 2025 and hopefully you are finding a way to embrace our winter weather while staying warm.

Looking back to the end of 2024, I want to thank our Board, volunteers and staff for keeping us going during a busy holiday season. Our New Year’s Eve celebration was a wonderful event with lots of people and I think the timing in the afternoon worked well. And I want to thank all those who helped coordinate our annual Christkindlmarkt. It was a treat to see Saint Nikolaus and Krampus make an appearance.

At the Club, we are as busy as ever! Over the holidays we had several private events and to start the new year, we have had the Stardust Band book a special night of dancing in February, we look forward to the annual Hunter’s Dance on Saturday, March 8 th as well. Thank you to our volunteers who have helped to keep that tradition alive.

We also look forward to live music again on Friday, February 21 st in the lounge. Thank you to our board member Gerhard for bringing the idea to life. Back in the fall, he helped us bring Die Schlagerbuam to perform at the club and we had packaged house – literally! The night was so successful that we are pleased to welcome them back. The band includes Harvey Flemming and Laszlo Kajdy of the German Canadian Male Chorus and they’ll play a mixture of music. This band has performed before at Ranchman’s and the Bavarian Inn in Bragg Creek. There is a cover charge of $5 and we strongly recommend reserving a table in advance.

Lastly, I am happy to welcome a new Board Member, Kathryn, to fill our open role as Treasurer. She has been so active and is helping to keep us all organized

We have much to look forward to this year, I look forward to seeing you at the Club!

Best regards, Frank Meixner, President
