Looking forward to seeing everyone again at our Oktoberfests in September.

Please find the attached invitation to the Celebration of Life for our dear friend and fellow member, Sigfried "Siggy" Charow.

At the request of Siggy's family, I am forwarding this invitation to the affiliated clubs where Siggy was a member and/or volunteered his time. The family has asked that this be shared with all club members who knew Siggy and would like to join in celebrating his life.

As this is an invitation-only gathering, the family will be arranging food based on the number of guests who plan to attend. To help provide the most accurate count, I would greatly appreciate it if you would send me the names of those from your club who will be attending. Since many of our members belong to multiple clubs, having names will allow me to cross-reference the lists and avoid duplicate counts.

Please respond by August 7, 2026, with the names of those attending.

You may contact me by:

Email: [email protected]

Remembering Siggy in this special Celebration of Life is very dear to my heart, and I appreciate your assistance in helping us honor his memory. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

With fond remembrance,
Ingrid H Stein
President
German American Cultural Center
