Dear Members and Friends of the Swiss Club WA
We are getting close to 1^st August very fast, so it’s time to move fast too.
Sunday 21 July 2019 I ask you to come to Gidge to help set up for our celebration on Saturday 3 August 2019. More wood for the bonfire is needed, setting up the shelter etc.etc. and just have a good day out in general. Bratwurst and Cervelats will be provided for the helpers and perhaps a good hot soup.
Now to our National Day Celebration on 3 August 2019
We plan to serve Heisse Fleischchäs and Heisse Schinke (supplied by our trusted Swiss Butcher). Our young people will serve (Bossert and Villemin kids - they promised) and I will prepare the usual salads: potato, celeriac (if available, otherwise beetroot), carrot and green salads, with my homemade salad sauce. You will bring – as usual – a contribution to a fantastic Dessert Buffet. The Alphorn Players will play for us and I hope they have the notes to the National Anthem, so we can sing along
The cost will be as follows:
Children up to 6 years: Gold Coin $
Children up to 15 years of age: 10$ (Ten Dollars)
Upwards of 15 years of age: 25$ (Twenty-five Dollars)
To be paid at the event, CASH ONLY
In order to have an idea of attendance, please send me how many of you will come and confirm that you will bring a dessert. So far I have 120 (solid, good sized) plates and cutlery. I don’t mind buying more
 In order to keep the Club’s E-Mail from overflowing please send your info to ruthclairange@gmail.com
