                         Something for Residents with a German Heritage!

                  Here is a nice Poem for our Residents with German Heritage.
                Some of you might have learned some German in your childhood.

     Der Bauer baut mit Müh und Not das Korn für unser täglich Brot.
    Zum Müller wird das Korn gebracht und feines Mehl daraus gemacht.
    Der Bäcker nimmt das Mehl ins Haus und bäckt im Ofen Brot daraus.
     Die Mutter streicht noch Butter drauf und wir - wir essen alles auf.

                           What do you think about Square Dance?
     I know, I know...! You cannot dance! Square Dance is for old people! You had to learn it in
     school and you hated it! Or you never learned it!
                                            But if I tell you…
                               It is actually more walking, than dancing!
                               It is an activity for people of all ages!
                               I promise it can be so much fun!
                               Everybody can learn it (even me)!

     I am looking for people of all ages, who would be interested in forming a Square Dance
     Group, or maybe somebody who used to be a Square Dance Caller in the past.
                          If interested, talk to Heidi at the Village office!
