The officers have decided that this years fundraisers will benefit the Women's Center of Bloomsburg PA.  The Women's Center, Inc. in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania is a non-profit organization that was formed in 1974 and incorporated in 1976. The Center serves the residents of Columbia and Montour counties.  Please help us raise as much as possible for this great cause!  You can do this by entering our various competitions Feb. 22nd, and by participating in the auction.  Please bring ANYTHING you can donate to this years auction!  Also, feel free to dress up in your best PA German outfit!  See you Feb 22nd!
 

The Danville German society proudly recommends anyone who has enjoyed fermented beverages to book a room at the Pine Barn Inn (800-627-2276 or 570-275-2071).  Tell them you are with the Danville Germans and you'll get a mint on the pillow.

DISCLAIMER - If you have ever seen an elk, you know that "tossing" an elk is quite difficult.  An adult male elk can weigh 800 lb.  We do not "toss" elk without proper safety harnesses and have never even touched an elk without these devises.  We do not wish to harm the magnificent elk or ourselves in any way.  Please do not attempt to toss an elk at home.
