Dear Members & Friends,
The Karneval’s Fancy
Dress Party on Saturday 25
February 2017 started at
7.11pm and it was a great
success.
Everyone there had a great
time. We had some
p r e v i o u s K a r n e v a l
Members walking in with
the old KDK hat and
throwing bags of lollies to
the children who came with
their parents to celebrate. I
presented the organiser of
the Karneval night, Claudia
Lüttringhaus, with a special
Karneval medal which
belonged to Willi Kortz
(KDK President in the
1970s) and also designed by
him, as a thank you for
keeping the Karneval
festivities alive in the Club.
The Children’s Fancy Dress
Party held on Sunday 26
February 2017 from 11am-
3pm was organized by
Paula Hay and was a great
success.

are staying on. Some of
our choristers are still on

them back again soon.
Preparations are in

Alpenrosen news
In February, the Alpenrosen boys were invited to perform at the Stammtisch
Faschingsball. The junior boys executed the Fight dance well and were then
joined by Kirby and Stuart for Max Glaner Schuhplattler. It was a fun night
for all.
We are in the final preparations for our adventures to Canberra on the Easter
weekend … the two routines have been finalised, rehearsals are tight and pol-
ished … we will be looking great in our new team t-shirts. We are looking
forward to catching up with our long-term friends and new dancers to meet.
Our partner dance group, the boys from Linz, Austria, are again joining us for
a fabulous long weekend.
After a short recovery break, we will again be back to rehearsals for the up-
coming Anniversary Ball at the Club.
Yours in dancing,
Paula, for the Alpenrosen Team

Dear friends Today is the day that Cyclone Debbie is said to hit Queensland’s Coast. We very much hope that you will be safe in the coming days. Our thoughts are with you. On a lighter note, Karneval in the Hall is done and dusted! The most colourful party of the year impressed with dances, songs, laughter, small and giant prices, amazing best dressed awards, Karneval music, Polonaise and lots of traditional goodies to take home! Our Sponsors were the Honorary Consul of Germany, Oktoberfest Brisbane with two price packs, Meixners Continen-tal Butcher, Zum Kaiser Restaurant, Schnucki Dirndl und Lederhosen, Beesting Café and King of Cakes. Thanks to Andrew and his friend as well as Monika and the Board for the great team effort. On the microphones were Lyndal Möller, Paula Hay, Dene Harris (special guest) and Claudia Lüttringhaus.
