We had a fine success at the Honolulu Elks last night as you can see on hand of the attached photographs! The service and food quality were 1st class ! And the fireworks, though 15 minutes earlier than announced by me were spectacular.
We brought a toast to Austria and the USA and a moment of silence in honor of Hans Strasser our founding member back in October of 1977. If you look at the pictures carefully you will notice several Hans Strasser Trachten jackets.
We also welcomed new members to our association, the Family Gazov who lived in Linz for some time and speak excellent German!
Our special thanks go to Hannelore Herrmann who in the absence of our treasurers Roswitha Kropf and Brigitte Visser did a wonderful job of holding the strings of this celebration together. She was assisted by Renate Rivera.
The photographs were taken by Magda Alexander and Renate Rivera.
Happy Austria National Day which is actually on October 26th !
