Kære Medlemmer og Venner af Heimdal.

Der har været nogen diskussion på bestyrelsen om medlemsskab af klubben skulle være per person i stedet for som nu per familie.

Nu betaler en familie $50 per år og har 2 stemmer (ved generalforsamlinger), een for hver voksen. Børn under 18 år har ikke stemmeret i klubben. Det nuværende familie-medlemskab omfatter det voksne par samt deres børn. Børn, der er 18 år eller ældre, skal selv betale familie- medlemsskab $50 per år.

Resultatet er, at der er meget få børn over 18 år, der er medlem af klubben. Det ændrer sig som oftest først, når barnet får en partner og sine egne børn.

Enlige personer (over 18 år) kan kun tegne familie medlemsskab til $50 per år og har een stemme. En ny kategory kunne kaldes person medlemsskab til $35 pr. år og vil kun øge arbejdet for medlems-officeren en smule.

Det koster for tiden klubben ca. $20 om året at udsende dette medlemsblad per medlem, uanset medlemskategorien. Derfor er det nok rimligt, at et person medlemsskab skulle blive mere end halv pris af et familie medlemsskab.

Har du en mening om dette emne, så send mig din kommentar, så vil jeg prøve at sætte nogle synspunkter i næste udgave af bladet og på vores hjemmeside under ”Synspunkt”.

Et uddrag af Klubbens regler, vedrørende ændring af regler, er på side 4.

Ulla Uhlott og assistent, Sandy, har tilbudt at lave medlemsbladet. Til næste generalforsamling i august vil jeg hermed nominere Ulla Uhlott som Redaktør af Heimdal’s Medlemsblad.

Første udgave med ny redaktør vil blive september udgaven.

Most committee members agreed to take another year. GREAT! No function will be held in June due to long weekend. Multicultural festival at Roma St parkland 14th October 2007. Quite a lot of discussion followed about this. It is a lot of work, long hours, starting the day before and finishing late the next night. Last year we made a profit of $4500.00. Alf Berg to fill in application form. Britt suggested she and her husband could make the dough for aebleskiver in their bakery. Flemming and co. will take care of the hot dogs. Alan?

$15950.00 compared with approx $25000.00 as suggested by previous committee. Ladies toilet may have a serious problem. Our president had a conversation with the plumber who initially did the work.

Benny Uholtt (again) will try to find time to replace broken tiles in our courtyard. Flemming to get quote from Smart Sails to cover courtyard.

If no help is forthcoming Aage will have to stop producing it in August (grim tidings).

Meeting finished 9.15pmNext Meeting 14th June 2007 6.30pm

Cocktail party

The date has been set. Reserve the 8th of September for a great night at The Danish Club.

We are celebrating Heimdal’s135 years birthday, with a glamorous cocktail party.

Check out your wardrobe and make sure the suit and pretty dress still fits (or a very good excuse for a bit of retail therapy for us girls) and your dancing shoes will definitely be

needed. We have organized a 7-piece band (The Party Cools) and they are absolutely great, if they can’t get us moving nobody can.

The doors will open at 6:30 for a 7 o’clock start. You will be greeted with a sparkling glass of Champagne and a String Quartet as entertainment.

Olive Rose will be doing the catering. We have chosen a finger food menu that is to die for. They will be serving hot and cold dishes all thru the night.

Later on there will be kransekage , (Rene’s surprise) coffee and tea.

The club will be extended with a big Marque out in the courtyard to make it one big area for every one to enjoy. There will still be areas where you can sit and have a quiet chat and

rest your tired feet. An extra bar will also be set up, to make it easy for everyone to buy their drinks (we don’t want any one to go thirsty).

We are still working on a couple of things and will let you all know when it has been finalized.

It promises to be a fantastic night, look out for your invitation in the mail.See you all there.

Your hard working commitee


ISABELLA HENRIETTA INGRID MARGRETHE

Det blev det lidt overraskende navn, den lille prinsesse fik da hun søndag formiddag blev døbt I Fredensborg Slotskirke

Hendes Kongelige Højhed prinsesse Isabella Foto: Steen Brogaard

Mange havde sikkert gættet på, at både Ingrid, Margrethe og Henrietta ville indgå i den godt to måneder gamle prinsesses navn. Men der har ikke været mange bud på Isabella. Dermed går kronprinsparret i traditionens fodspor og giver deres anden fødte et lidt utraditionelt navn.

Ligesom til prins Christians dåb var det også denne gang mor Mary, der førte den lille prinsesse mod døbefronten. Der ventede Københavns biskop Erik Norman Svendsen, som også døbte Christian og viede Frederik og Mary, med tempereret vand.

Selve dåben tog prinsesse Isabella rigtig fint – hun sov nemlig trygt mens præsten øste vand på hendes lille royale hoved.

Men ellers så både Christian og den lille pige noget betuttet ud i kirken, men så tog far Frederik sig af den store mens mor Mary, ligesom til Christians dåb, stillede sin lillefinger til rådighed når den lille var utilfreds.

Da prins Christian blev døbt, havde han ikke mindre end otte prominente faddere, men den lille prinsesse måtte tage til takke med seks, deriblandt nære venner af kronprinsparret og to prinsesser – Mathilde af Belgien og prinsesse Alexia.

Efter dåben inviterede Mary og Frederik deres 120 gæster på en frokost i Kancellihusets baghave.
