Dear Fellow
German-Americans:
On Spetember 27,
2008, we will celebrate our 38th anniversary by
marching on Frankford Avenue
in the Mayfair section of Northeast
Philadelphia.
Through the
continuing active support of the Mayfair Community Development Corporation
we enjoy increasing success at this location. The Mayfair community will host "Strassen
Fest" at the intersection of Cottman and
Frankford Avenues providing an
Oktoberfest-like atmosphere.
St. Matthew's
Catholic Church will again graciously host our
ecumenical
service before the Parade. We encourage you come to
the parade and
enjoy a day celebrating German-American Heritage. It
is a thrill to march in front of spectator-lined
streets.
Again, I must ask you
for your financial support of the Steuben Parade.
Your generous donation is
crucial to organizing and presenting this
German-American Parade to the Philadelphia area. In
addition, the Parade Association is no longer the
recipient of donated airline tickets, so we must
raise funds to send our Cornflower Queens to Germany
to represent us.
Win a "Culinary
trip to Germany" right here in the Philadelphia area
with a basket of gift certificates to area German
restaurants.
With your tax-deductible contribution of $10.00 or more, we will include
your name in a drawing to win this prize and list
you as a contributor in our 2009 program book.
Simply complete the enclosed coupon and return it
with your check made payable to Steuben Day
Observance Association.
Congratulations to
the winners of last year's raffle - Robert and Mary
Ann Eppinger. On behalf of the
Steuben Day Observance Association, I offer you
sincere thanks for preserving and promoting our German heritage.
Your donations are vital to the effort, just as
General von Steuben was to Washington!
Thank you,
Al Taubenberger
General Chairman
(Please note that online contributions of $10.00 or
more entered prior to September 27, 2008, will also be entered into
the drawing and listed in the 2009 Parade
Journal. Your transactions are secure using PayPal.)
