Christmas Bazaar 2013: A success!

Submitted by Gisela Steinle on Thu, 05/12/2013 - 00:35

We are happy report of our very successful bazaar on November 23. The number of visitors was almost overwhelming – we had substantially more guests than last year, probably largely due to advertising in the press, on our website, and also on Facebook.  We were also happy to see so many young faces at the bazaar, both as guests and volunteers.

We again had the good fortune to have many, many helpers who gave their time and energy to this good cause. Many thanks for all their efforts! 

With regards to the food, we had an exceptional number of torten and cakes; many thanks to all who contributed.  The hot meal and « Glühwein » was completely sold out just before 2:00 p.m. due to the unexpected high volume of guests - so we will have to consider ordering more meals and preparing more « Glühwein » next year.

As has traditionally been the case, students from the Alexander von Humboldt German International School took over the clearing of tables and the dishwashing; proudly observed by their principal, who, like his predecessor, helped out at the bar for several hours. The German Choir put the guests in a Christmas mood, and the wide selection of our tombola prizes turned many visitors into winners. 
We appreciated our sponsors very much, especially Rolf C. Hagen Inc. and Henkell from Germany. 

Most bazaar tables seem to have made more sales than last year. 

Our treasurer is still working on the bottom line, but we can safely assume that we have again achieved an impressive financial result.
