DVHH Kitchener Host:
Roy Engel of Pickering Ontario

          Landestreffen der Donauschwaben was hosted at the Schwaben Club of Kitchener, Canada.  The Kitchener Club has been waiting their turn to host the event for a few years now, so they are very excited that it finally happened.  A special thanks to George Krachling, the Kitchener Club President and Peter Speckner, the 2012 Event Chair who generously provided the DVHH space and tables.  These yearly events are very special, it's just like being among family; experiencing the excellent Donauschwaben food, music, dancing and camaraderie of celebrating our ancestors traditions. 

          The DVHH booth was hosted this year by Roy Engel, of Pickering, Canada and assisted by Eve Brown, of Durand, MI; (both are DVHH Mail List Administrators).  Below photo of the DVHH tables and attendees: Roy Engel, Dennis Bauer, Henry Fischer, Middle: Eve Brown and Anne Dreer.
