New Members Table
If you are a new member, concerned because you do
not know anyone or uncertain where to sit when you
come to our club, please join me at the new members
table. I wish to also include past new members who
may have the same concern. I will assist you in
meeting other members and placing you at a table so
you can enjoy the club dinners and functions. The
ladies at the front desk will be happy to show you
where I am located. I look forward to meeting with
each one of you and assisting with any questions you
may have about our club.

that we have been offering to the community of
Cape Coral on a large scale. It’s time to give some
thought to our
Oktoberfest Newspaper
I would like it to be dedicated to the 30th anniversary. My thought is to put together a few anecdotes from several of our members about our collective memories over the last few decades. If anyone would like to contribute a memory, a story, a

Hafenkapelle had an Easter Parade as part of our 2015 Spring Concert on March 20. We were
very pleased with the number of participants in the parade, and with the fine outfits they
wore. It was such a success that we will consider doing it again next year.
Alex Mueller was introduced as the assistant director of the band. Alex and his wife Heidi
moved to Cape Coral from Germany last year, and they recently joined GASC. Please welcome
Alex and Heidi to the club.

Schützen People #4
by Kristin Isley
The last members story was
about a long-time GASC couple
who helped found the Schützen
club - Ernie and Tony Gollin. This
month, the story is about a couple
fairly new to the GASC and to the
Schützenverein: Bill and Nancy
Bojan (pronounced, "boy-YAN").
What different life stories! And yet
there are many common threads.
Although retired, Bill is far
from inactive. His skills and
passions include cement, carpentry and gas welding trades,
leather crafting, exotic fruit tree
propagation and ongoing involvement with real estate. Bill
was happy to join the Beautification Committee when he became a member of the GASC

to reduce dumpster expense and
recycle horticulture debris by utilizing a chipper to create the club's
mulch from our own rubble.
They'd also like to provide an inventory of various fruit trees that
they will plant on club grounds so
that our kitchen has fresh produce
in season.
Bill and Nancy may be newlyweds, and they may be retired.
But when it comes to the GASC
they are as dedicated as long-time
members and as active as they can
be. We are lucky to have this couple in the Schützenverein, and we
wish them a long and happy life
together!
