UPCOMING ENTERTAINMENT 109th Anniversary Banquet Alex Meixner Band Kinderfest More Info On Page 4, 5, & 6
—MIXING IT UP— For two years now we have hosted the illustrious Alex Meixner Band on a Thursday night in May and though at first many of our group were skeptical of making an event work like that on for lack of a better term a “school night,” its been successful both years! This year we are having the band and the front man again but we will be, shall we say, Mixing It Up! This year we will hold the event on Friday, May 10, 2019 right in the heart of Oakford. It can’t be anything but more successful for us moving to the Friday date. The event is a great night out at the club with food, drink, good music, and dancing. Mark your calendars to join us for this social affair because as a club we must remember that being together is what keeps everything going. . If you have been to the event the last two times, make sure you attend again! If you haven’t joined us for this affair before, consider it. Mix up your plans for this coming May and join us at Trifecta Sporting Club to dance and listen to the Alex Meixner Band! Michael
—Friday, May 10— ALEX MEIXNER BAND IS COMING! This is becoming an annual event! The Alex Meixner Band will again be joining us for a fun night of music!

—STRENGTH & UNITY—
For many years we have tagged a lot of the things we do and most of the things we write with the slogan, "Continuing a Proud Tradition!" It has been and will continue to be a wonderful sentiment for us. If you read the 75 Years of Soccer history from 1997 you will see a word that appears over and over again in each section of the account. The word is "continue," or the variations of it and the document ends with a thought that was adapted and spread to the entire organization. "We have made many contributions to amateur soccer. As we proudly bear the name UNITED GERMAN HUNGARIANS, we are…Continuing a Proud Tradition." At this time of transition many things may change about what and how we do, but they will change for the better and
all the while the traditions continue along. That is why we have made the changes we have made. Continuity is important in that it has propelled us this far. Through every change the organization and the people have made through over 100 years we have maintained a continuity of who we are and the things we do, together. Togetherness is another necessary part of this whole grand experiment we call club life. Thriving as an organization we need to stick together, truly as a family.
