Great harmonica led Blues Music returns to the Club on October 17th. Join us at 6:00pm, as "Monk and the Po' Boys" again take our floor for two hours of classic blues in one of the most intimate venues in Las Vegas. There is no cover for the show.
The Bar will be available to all of our Guests. The doors open at 4:30. Arrive early for best seats and ask our greeter about the evening food/snack options. The Club Members want to thank all of our friends in Las Vegas that stopped by to share in our Oktoberfest celebration on Oct 13th and 14th. It was a remarkable and lively party, with entertainment by Jimmi Ellis and Ginger Schnapps. There was great weather, laughter, dance, music and food. The event was staged and supported by the volunteer labor of our members, working to share German Culture in southern Nevada.
We hope to see everyone at our next community event, Maifest, May 3rd and 4th, 2024. The "Latin Groove" party has been RESCHEDULED for October 10th. Sal Santiago hopes to see his friends on that new date. Visitors to the Club are always asked to sign the Guest Register. Fall is always a wonderful turn in the year. With the moderation of temperatures in late August, it seemed like Las Vegas got an early movement out of summer heat.
Now, with the passing of the Autumnal Equinox, and the rising of the Harvest Moon in Late September, we have arrived at Oktober in the German Calendar. While a common caricature might be the celebrations of Oktoberfest in Munich, the truth is that harvest time has arrived, days have shortened, and the air is fresh and cool again. It is time to celebrate, gather in with friends and family, and to enjoy the pleasures of accomplishments in the closing year. The German-American Social Club is the right place to step in, slow down, smile and relax with all. We hope you might visit and see how we celebrate Fall....... The Club and Members have been working for over two months now on planning, and handcrafting items, for our annual Fall Festival. Oktoberfest is October 13-14, 4:00-10:00 pm each day. There will be live music and food available to purchase. German Beers are always on-tap. If you would like a refrigerator reminder, or you want to pass festival information on to friends, please download the attached 2023 event flyer. - - FLYER - - (click) Bavarian Night
On Saturday, November 11, 2023, we will be holding our annual "Bavarian Night" in Honor of Elsie Lappoehn (1919-2013). Elsie was the Founder of the German-American Social Club of Nevada. Silvia, her Haxenmeister, Skip, and his Crew, will be the Chefs. You have a choice of Schweinehaxe (pork shank) for $ 25.00, or Beef Rouladen (Top Sirloin stuffed with onion, bacon, and pickle in a brown gravy) for $20 Since this event sells out quickly, please make your reservations ASAP by leaving your name and number on the club phone. Specify how many in your party and which dinner number of each menu you will need. Ein Prosit !! Call 702-201-1448 to reserve your menu choices for you and your guests. For guests that want a small token to celebrate their visit to our Southern Nevada Club, how about a commemorative Hat Pin? The Pin is designed to symbolically celebrate our bi-cultural emphasis. The design is similar to the award given to members for each 5-year increment of continuous service to our Club. See the Bartender to purchase a Hat Pin. There are many pages of information about our organization on this website. If you would like to review the Application Form, you can download it HERE. Membership is $35 annually; however, there is a first-time application fee of $10 (waived if over 60 years old). Our club is a growing, and dynamic part of Las Vegas. We hope you and your family can be a part of our future. President Eric entered his year of club service on July 1st, 2023. As the President, he adopted two organizations to benefit from his targeted fundraising on behalf of the Club, "Toys-4-Tots", and the "Nevada Chapter of Paralyzed Veterans of America".
The first of the President's Community Service Campaigns will close on September 9th, when veterans, and chapter staff, join Eric and the membership for dinner, and the presentation of the accumulated donations. The evening is celebration of their service, and our commitment to support these veterans. Members of the community that would like to make donations before that date, or join our dinner donation event that night, are welcome. Donations can be mailed to the GASCON 1110 E. Lake Mead Blvd, North Las Vegas, NV. Please add a memo PCSC PVA, and address the check to "The German-American Social Club of Nevada". The President's Community Service Campaign fundraising for Toy-4-Tots will continue in to October. Donations will be presented to the Marine Corps Reserve this Fall. |
