BUZZING AROUND Our Women’s Auxiliary has had a busy year. We hosted a “Tea Social” in January, a “Girls Night Out Vendor Fair” in March, a “QVC Tour with dinner at the 200 year old Seven Stars Inn in Phoenixville” in April and our annual “Spring Penny Party” in May. We thank all who helped in any way to make these events successful. We have future events planned and invite you to attend them. Meanwhile join us for our June events— Schnitzel Night, Bayerischer VV & United German Hungarian 11th Anniversary, Gaufest Dancer’s Warm-Up, Fathers Day Picnic, and German Day.

United Soccer League CHAMPIONS by Danielle Harvey The German Hungarian Fury Women’s Soccer Team recently wrapped up an extremely successful 2012-2013 campaign, winning both the United Soccer League (USL) of PA Women’s Majors League title and the USL of PA Women's League Cup. The Fury ended the season with a record of 11-0-1—their only loss coming in the first game of the season. The team led the league in goals scored, with an impressive 12 different players tallying goals. Ashley Fischer was the league’s top scorer with 20 goals, while Whit-ney Weinraub tied for third league-wide with 8. Claire Pelura and Ash-ley Fischer tied for first place in assists league-wide with 7 each. The team also led the league in goals against, giving up only 17

goals in 12 games. Coach Barry Harvey credits the entire Fury backline, including goalkeeper Desiree DaBaldo, with keeping their opponents out of games. “Our offense is a powerful weapon, but in the end it was our defense that won games for us.” After the league season ended, the team went on to win the USL of PA Women's League Cup, navi-gating through two rounds before beating rival Phoenix in the championship by a score of 5-0. The team will now participate in the annual UGH Women’s Summer League, with games on Wednes-day nights starting on June 5. Congratulations to the team on a job well done!

Thank You to All who attended the 2013 Soccer Beef 'n Beer on May 4th. It turned out to be a great party!

If you did not make it out that night but still made a donation...Thank You! The event and its success would not have been possible without the help and

support of many people. Too numerous to go through each person, but a special Thanks to You!

It took a real team effort.

- OUR JUNE EVENTS - In some months of the year, our club is very busy with various events. In other months we are not so busy. That’s just the way of life. It is always important for all our members, friends and families to attend all our events. However, this does not always happen. IN ORDER FOR OUR CLUB TO “CONTINUE OUR PROUD TRADITIONS”, YOU NEED TO ATTEND. DO YOU CARE? IS IT IM-PORTANT? We have some great events coming up soon!!! Our Schnitzel Night is a great event. For $10.00 you can have a delicious meal, meet with your friends and enjoy great camaraderie. On June 15th, we can celebrate the 11th Anniversary with the BVV and dance the night away to the wonderful music of the Heimatklänge. On June 16th, (see page one) not only do you have a chance to see the perfor-mance of our dancers but you can celebrate Fathers Day with all our fathers. On June 30th, we are the hosts to the annual German Day. Lots of fun, perfor-mances of many clubs from the participating area, games, especially a Maβkrugstemmen Competition (more info next month), German American Sports Exhibitions and more will be held. This is a time to bring your family and friends. In August, a group affiliated with the LANDSMANNSCHAFT DER BANATER SCHWABEN are arriving on our shores from Germany, and touring and per-forming in various area of the US beginning at the German Hungarian Club. I EXPECT TO SEE YOU THERE!!!
