Friday April 4th Happy Hour 6 pm Meeting 7 pm Plan to be there for this really fun evening. Mark Schilleman, Program Director President's Message Again, thank you all for giving me the honor of the Presidency of the GCGAC. My primary goal for the coming year is to increase the Mem- bership of our Club. In order to accomplish this Mission, we need to establish more presence in the community. In order to do that, we need more publicity. I would also like to inspire more interest in our current meetings by offering different venues while maintaining the established German traditions. As some of these needs will cost dol- lars to incorporate, and since we don’t want to make our current Treasurer unhappy by not having the books balance, the Board is considering some fundraising events to offset the ex- penses. We would welcome any and all suggestions from our Membership as to ways for reaching our goals. Thinking that a little competition can go a long way and dependent on Board approval, it is hoped that we will be able to offer a cash prize to the member bringing in the highest number of new members. I expect my phone (or any Board member’s phone) to be “ringing off the hook” with your in- put. This is OUR Club. Rebecca Claus President In order for the bar not to run at a deficit the price for drink tickets will be raised as follows: Beer, Wine and Champagne $3 Sodas $2 and Water will stay the same at $1.

Meeting Page 3 The Happy Wanderer’s April Hikes Hiking or walking is the most ancient exercise and still the best modern exercise. Carrie Latet April 3. Open April 10 Independence Trail followed by Ananda’s tulip extravaganza The trail is approximately four (4) miles long with a short uphill at the end. We eat our lunch at the Yuba River. After the hike we have the choice to drive over to the ‘Ananda Village’ to view 12000 tulips in full bloom. A sight not to be missed – fantastic! We meet at the Government Center in Nevada City at 9:00 am April 17 MALAKOFF DIGGIN’S A most enjoyable and very interesting hike with a lot of history from the Gold Rush era. We start above the Diggin’s and hike along the rim to a spectacular view point. Then we go downhill into the Diggin’s to view the Hiller drain tunnel. At the road, close-by, we have left a car. It’s a medium hike - 6-7 miles. We meet at the Government Center at 9 am April 24 Sugar Pine Lake This hike is located past Foresthill. Our group did this one last year.. The trail is fairly level and goes all the way around the lake, approximately 5 miles. Easy to moderate. Paved to the trailhead. We meet in Auburn at the Grocery Outlet at 9 am Directions From the Grocery Outlet we drive 1.8 mile east on #80 toward Reno to Foresthill exit (#121) Then about 26 miles - through Foresthill. A beautiful drive! Turn left on Sugar Pine Road Drive for about 6 miles and we will arrive at the boat ramp of the reservoir. (A small outhouse is available) Dear Friends and Family, This morning at 5 o'clock am, 2-26-2014, our beloved father, Paul Aden Rohrer passed away peacefully. He overcame numerous medical mal- adies to be with us as long as he did, and we were blessed to have him living closer to us during the past year. He made a difficult transi- tion from living in his own home in Penn Valley to living in the Monte- rey/Carmel area, where he got to see his kids and grandkids more often. Attached is an ex- ample of a recent visit from two of his granddaughters on Valentines Day, where they pre- sented him with hugs and kisses, both of the literal and Hershey's variety. A Celebration Of Life Service was held on March 29th, in Carmel, CA. All our love, Ross, Dan, Christian, Ingrid and Elizabeth You will be fondly remembered. Our heartfelt condolences to the family from your friends at the Gold Country German American Club. Page 4 Board Members 2014 Mark Schilleman, Margot Schulze, Christa Benson, Rebecca Claus.

Seen here with Dennis Naumann, Walter Grob and Mark Schilleman Easter in Germany The celebration of Easter (besides Christmas) in Germany is probably one of the most important events of the year. Most of us grew up associating Easter with a bunny who brings candy and eggs, so we don’t question how this legend came to be. When you actually think about it, though, it’s an odd tradition! Rabbits don’t, after all, lay eggs, or deliver gifts. The Easter Bunny is nonetheless a cherished aspect of the holiday for chil- dren all around the world. Easter began with the pagan celebration of the Anglo-Saxon goddess “Ostara”, “Eastre”, or “Eostre”. This an- cient figure was said to bring light and life. These names give us the official title of “Easter” that is used today. In one legend, the goddess entertains children by turning a bird into a rabbit.

  • EASTER EGGS Easter Egg Traditions
    HAVE GERMAN WILL TRAVEL Ostenvoche OSTERSITTEN UND BRAUCHE I CUSTOMS and TRADITIONS OSTEREIER/ EASTER EGGS Easter egg traditions An egg bunt is a game during which decorated eggs, real hard-boiled ones or artificial ones filled with, or made ofc hocolate candies, of various sizes, are hidden for children to find, b<>tb indoors and outdoors.rio1 When the hunt is over, prizes may be given for the largest number of eggs collected, or for the largest or the smallest egg_ 1io1 Real eggs may further be used in egg tapping contests. 1n the North of England, at Eastertime, a traditional game is played where hard boiled pace eggs are distributed and each player hits the other player's egg with their own. This is known as "egg tappi ng", "egg dumping" or "eggjarping". The winner is the holder of the last intact egg. The losers get to eat their eggs. The annual egg jarping world championship is held every year over Easter in Peterlee Cricket Club. It is also practiced in Bulgaria, Hungary, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Lebanon, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, lJkraine_, and other countries. They call it tucanje. In parts of Austria, Bavaria and German-speaking Switzerland it is called Ostereierlitschen or Eierpecken. In parts of Europe it is also called epper, presumably from the German name Opfer, meaning "offering" and in Greece it is known as tsougrisma. In South Louisiana this practice is called Pocking Eggsl 11 H121and is slightly different. The Louisiana Creoles hold that the winner eats the eggs of the losers in each round. The central European Slavic nations (Czechs and Slovaks etc.) have a tradition of gathering eggs by gaining them from the females in return of whipping them with a pony-tail shaped whip made out of fresh willow branches and splashing them with water, by the Ruthenians called polivanja, which is supposed to give them health and beauty.

It's a trend that the Daily Mail attributes in part to a stable of celebrities who fancy it, including tennis player Andy Murray who apparently eats up to 50 pieces a day and Pippa Middleton, whose famous figure may make sushi even more appealing. At Tesco, Britain's largest supermarket chain, which sells a large range of ready-to-eat items, sushi meals now outsell the British sandwich staples like the ploughman's cheese, pickles, and Culinaria Germany: A Celebration of Food and Tradition and tuna and cucumber.
