On April 11, 1924, after much publicity in the German paper, there gathered together in the Hall of the Glee Club Eintracht, a number of young immigrants who had left Germany in 1923. Companionship and good sport of various kinds was their objective. To further this, an already existing German soccer team joined them on May 7, 1924. They decided to call the club Edelweiss, and their colors were to be blue and white. The Edelweiss is a flower that grows in high altitudes of the German Alps and can only be reached under most strenuous and untiring efforts.

We had to make a change this year and are not having our Annual Oktoberfest. Instead, we added two Biergartens. The S last one is September 16 which will have a ham hock dinner.  If you plan to come for the dinner please make a reservation to ensure there are enough ham hocks.  ​​​​​If you have any questions about the club and events please call Elisabeth Nemeth (937-294-3056) or the club's 937-836-6889 recording.
​Hope to see you soon!
