October, 2004

Dear BUV Member,

The September meeting was a lively and eventful meeting. Thanks to all who attended. The summer was found to have been good to all who were there. I hope to see even more members at our next meeting scheduled on October 12 th .

I regret to announce that Brother Ron Schneider has stepped down as Secretary on September 14 th so I am attempting to uphold the duties of the position for the month. Interest was expressed by a few members to fill this position. If you are interested in holding this position, make sure that you attend this next meeting as we will be voting and selecting a new man for the job.

Treasurer Mueller informed us that the translation of our constitution is 95% completed and coming soon. Thank you to him for making this happen. Brother Flynn delivered the new pins and they look sharp. Thank you for all of your time efforts in this process.

President Fullbeck informed us that Brother Wolfgang Fullbeck was struck by a moving vehicle and was hospitalized on September 13th. Our prayers are with him.

I have taken the responsibility to design and maintain a new website for our society. It is currently under construction and will be published within the next couple of months. If there is anything special that you feel should be included or if you have any ideas please let me know. I am hoping that this new site will drive an increase in new members.

We hope to see many members at our October meeting. The meeting will be held at the Donauschwaben Haus and begin at 7:00 pm.

Brother Randall Mueller
