DVHH
Certificates of Appreciation 2008
The Donauschwaben Villages Helping Hands
(DVHH) recognized the people and organizations which made possible our
participation in the Landesverband der Donauschwaben (LUSA) annual events.
Our collaboration with LUSA helps to promote the mission of the DVHH and
bring it to the Donauschwaben Club members. What better place to present
the DVHH Certificates of Appreciation but at the
Landestrachtenfest mit Wettbewerb 2008 in
Cleveland? Some of us attended the Presidents meeting held on Sunday, Aug
30, 2008; and after a nice introduction of the DVHH by Leo Mayer, Hans
Martini, DVHH Board Director, presented the following certificates . . .

Dr. Thomas
C.
Thornton

Webmaster, Mansfield Liederkranz
From the beginning Dr. Tom has been a
wonderful advocate for the DVHH, and paved the way for our
participation with the LUSA.
"Our
collaborations can only enhance
the drive to promote & preserve
the Donauschwaben heritage."
- Tom Thornton

Leo Mayer
Landesverband der
Donauschwaben President.
Leo is serving his last term as
LUSA President, but he will not
be out of reach. He leaves
behind a legacy that will be
remembered, especially with the
DVHH folks. We presented Leo
with a certificate of
appreciation and we are also
proud to count him as a DVHH
member. |

Jakob Hunsinger
President of the Mansfield Liederkranz
Jakob was instrumental in
helping the DVHH coordinate its
first appearance with the LUSA
event in Mansfield, 2007.
The unity of the Mansfield
Liederkranz represents what type
of leader Jakob is. We were made
to feel very welcome. |

The club was very generous to

Linda
McKenna
DVHH
Mansfield Host
Presented by Nancy Fredenberg
As
our first LUSA event host, we
asked a lot of Linda and she
delivered much much more than we
asked! She had a lot going on
in her personal life and she
planned and organized around it
all, even after her home was
flooded the week before the
event, due to rain storms! We
couldn't have done it without
her. |

Presented by Beth Tolfree
As
a long time member of the
Donauschwaben German-American
Cultural Center in Cleveland and
LUSA, Hans was ready, willing
and able to help during our
planning. Thank you, Hans, for
your assistance and your DVHH
membership support. |

Thank
you all for your service and support to the DVHH. I would like to
thank Nancy Fredenberg for initiating the certificates, as well as the
design and production.
