ANNUAL
PRESIDENT'S REPORT 2008-2009
My dear fellow Turners,
Our Turner year is from November 1 to October 31, and I
am pleased to report to you on a very successful
2008-2009 year. It was a great pleasure to see all
of you who could attend the recent annual meeting,
and since many could not, I write my report here in our
newsletter.
The short logline is, that in many decades we have not
been more financially sound, nor initiated more new
members, nor widened our community outreach than in this
last year. Our board, our singers, our fencers, indeed
our members, are active. There is an undeniable optimism
in the air, a sense of new beginnings with the new
Turner Center. There is a great peace, both among the
Turners and between the Turners and the community - a
real Pax Turnerica.
The 2008-2009 Turner year started with a very successful
Christmas party. Tom Bozonelos, First Vice President of
the American Turners, was a special Los Angeles Turners
guest, Christina Linhardt and Willi Jablonski
entertained us beautifully, and our Singers, headed by
Inge Crongeyer, led us in carols that made the mood and
took us into the season. VP Carole Brennan secured a
real discus which became a part of our initiation, and
five new Turners were minted that evening.
In the Spring, the LA Turners joined the LAX Coastal
Chamber of Commerce, and being Turners, we became active
very fast. Turners were also there when Mayor
Villagairosa was sworn in, and we have an excellent
relationship with Councilman Bill Rosendahl. The new LA
affiliations augmented the strong ties we have built in
recent years with both the American Turners and the
German American League. In addition to adding many
younger sons and daughters of the discusthrower, we are
very happy to also have earned the membership of such
German community leaders as Ellen and Horst Neu and
Walter Lübke and the ongoing support of DAV president
Resi Lengsfeld.
The LA Turners were there in numbers at the DAV Maifest,
and through Carole Brennan we were able to donate
valuable tickets to Musical Theater West for the Berlin
Gedächtniskirche fundraiser, and the recent Zachary
Finals were not only supported by the Turners as donors,
but a quite many of us there as well to enjoy the very
fine new opera talent. The great annual German Day, held
in August, also saw the Turners, there at the Phoenix
Club, under the Society flag.
In June, we held an open house to show you the progress
of the Turner Center, which has been the herculean
effort our Alex Hast. At this time, we also seized the
opportunity to add TOP Köln publisher Rainer Schillings
to the Board of Trustees on the occasion of his and Anja
Raschke's visit to LA from the Cologne. And being
Turners, we all spontaneously - - - sang!
In the Fall, the German, Austrian and Swiss Consulates
all welcomed new Consuls General, and we greeted each,
sharing a few words about the new Turner Center and the
activities of our Society. Turners participated in all
of the National Day commemorations. In September, I was
deeply honored to be named Commercial Ambassador of the
City of Cologne by Lord Mayor Fritz Schramma, receiving
the pin and certicate of accreditation from Consul
General Wolfgang Drautz. I hope to bring a bit of
Cologne to the Turner Center with our 11.11. party!
In October, Carole Brennan went to the National Council
meetings in Chicago, and extended our greetings to the
leaders of the American Turners. She also invited the
Council to hold its bi-annual meeting, in 2011 - - -
here in Los Angeles. Also in October, our Singers sang
at the Cathedral on the occasion of German-American Day.
My friends, this has been a much abridged chronology,
but please let me express my gratitude another way than
by the dates. I want to thank the entire dedicated
Board of the Turners, with whom it is a pleasure to
serve and without whom nothing would be possible - our
meticulous CFO Eliane Ubassy, our financial expert Bill
Williamson, the media-savvy Petra Schürmann,
the artistic Corneliu Radulea, our
detail-oriented membership secretary Angie Hegedus, our
goodwill and protocol envoys Ilona Scarpidis and Hugo
Bakos, and of course our VP Carole Kulzer Brennan, who
has done marketing, fundraising, recruitment,
organizing, community outreach, singing, and much much
more.
Let me express my admiration to Inge Crongeyer and Ollie
Rasbury and our Singers, who the year around, gather to
rehearse and then raise the joyous sound of German song.
A tip of the fencing mask to Jeff Gin, Brian Pena and
Dave "Miracle Man" Markham, who week for week brandish
their sabers and give us a superb first-string team.
Last but not least, kudos to Alex Hast and Andreas
Gritschke who have engineered to near completion at
press time, our long awaited Turner Center. And before I
let go of Alex with these words, let me add, that this
newsletter and our website, are the creative handiwork
of this dear man from Krefeld.
We bow our heads remembering the Turners who passed away
in the last year. I am sure they are singing,
dancing and fencing in Ludwig Jahn's own Riege above us.
With fond Turner greetings, until November 11,
Dennis Fredricks, President
Turners 2007
