PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Happy Easter!

We start the month with improvements to the bar. The

club will be closed April 2-6 while our maintenance

superheroes work on the walk-in cooler. We could use

help from members in the second half of the month with

repairs and painting the bar area. If you’re available,

contact Jon Shogren for times and additional details.

Silvia and the dance group will be traveling to the James

Gibson Library (100 W. Lake Mead Parkway in Henderson)

on April 7 to perform a German cooking and dance

demonstration at noon. Your presence at the event will be

much appreciated.

Entertainment will be offered every Saturday night this

month, so make sure to check the calendar and Facebook

for more information regarding meals and entertainers.

We will also have Maifest celebrations on May 12 and

May 19. There will be dancing, German music from the

Ginger Snaps, and food and drinks galore, so make sure to

save the dates.

See you at the club!

Sign up for spring tournament

You’ve still got time to sign up for our spring tournament

on Saturday, May 5. It will be a four-person scramble

picked from a blind draw. We need plenty of A, B, C and D

players.

Cost of the tournament is $50. We’ll have lots of prizes

awarded during our ceremony at the club following a great

Cinco de Mayo dinner. Sign up at the club or text me

at 7028061294.

On Nov. 3, we will be having our annual GASCON memorial

tournament in Laughlin. We will be staying at the

Edgewater Hotel and Casino, same as last year. We will

meet on Friday, Nov. 2, and play the next day.

Last year we had an amazing turnout and expect the same

this year. We will have fun activities and prizes for golfers

and anyone who wants to join the party. Because of the

size of the facility, we are limiting the turnout to the first

80 people to sign up. Sign up at the club or text me.

To make a reservation at the Edgewater, call and let them

know you are with the German Club or GASCON. We get a

discounted rate of $62 a night plus tax. We need 35 rooms

to make the event work, so please, don't stay at any other

hotel. See you on the course.

Taking over the tap

Come to the German-American Club on Friday, April 20,

for ABK beer. We will have an ABK representative at the

club to officially introduce us to this Bavarian brew. Cost

is $20 for members ($30 for non-members) for unlimited

ABK beer from 6-9 p.m. You can also take home the ABK

pint glass. We will be serving a slider plate by Karin for

$6.

Sunshine report

A good crowd showed up for the club’s St.

Patrick’s Day dinner with corned beef and

cabbage cooked by Rita and Alwine and music

from Melody and the River Cats.

dance floor.




Big band jazz leader Jimmy Wilkins brings his

New Life Orchestra back to the German-

American Club from 1-4 p.m. Sunday, April 8, a

chance for members and guests to catch one of

the glowing embers of the trailblazing

American jazz scene of the 1940s and ’50s.

While not quite as famous as his older brother,

Ernie, who died in 1999, Jimmy holds his own as

a trombone player, music arranger and band

leader as he approaches the century mark.

Jimmy joined the Count Basie Band as a

trombonist in 1951, recommended by his friend

and Basie’s great alto saxophonist, Clark Terry.

Brother Ernie played tenor sax for the Count.

The 96-year-old musician lives in Henderson

and carries on the legacy of icons such as

Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington and Count Basie.

Marsha K, who leads Tuesday night jazz at the

German-American Social Club of Nevada, has

booked Wilkins and his New Life Orchestra at a

number of venues around Las Vegas, including

Black Label, McDonald Ranch and E String.

“I’m stimulated,” Wilkins said in a 2009

interview with the Las Vegas Sun. “That’s what

music does for you. I used to joke and say, ‘I’m

going to be 100 years old and conducting an

orchestra.”

Admission to the concert is $12 for members,

$15 for nonmembers.
