UPCOMING ENTERTAINMENT 109th Anniversary Banquet More Info On Page 4
—BLACK TIE— I have heard somewhere that we German Hungarians like to be seen. I don’t know where that idea came about but thinking about it, I can’t help but think it's true. We like wearing our club colors, our tracht, and our crest. We like appearing in uniform to all the places we go no matter the fact that most of our faces say “German Hungarians,” without the use of one letter. We also like wearing our best out on a Saturday night with shoes shined, ties perfectly tied, hair combed nicely or done up. We like gowns and tuxedos, suits and cocktail dresses.

On Saturday, March 30, 2019, please join us for the 109th Anniversary Banquet with our usual flair! This time it is taking place at the Trifecta Sporting Club. Where’s that you ask? I think you might have been there before. It's at the familiar address of 4666 E Bristol Road, Feasterville, PA 19053. Don't worry, the usual entertainment will be on hand with the Heimatklänge Orchestra providing music and the dance group is sure to make a performance.

Trying harder is not a bad thing but it can be well, hard. Sometimes when I try to get things in life and club together, I reflect on what has worked and what has failed in the past. Inevitably, I realize that things seem to go the most smoothly when I have time, and inspiration, to write articles, editorials, and entertain-
