A RESOLUTION
Honoring German Club Edelweiss
on its Centennial.
WHEREAS, The members of the House of Representatives of the 135th 1
General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate German Club 2
Edelweiss on the auspicious occasion of its One Hundredth Anniversary; 3
and 4
WHEREAS, Recognition of this prestigious milestone is a fitting 5
tribute to German Club Edelweiss, for since its inception, it has 6
achieved a remarkable record of service to the Englewood area. Started 7
as a soccer club for German people in Dayton to be able to play on 8
their own field, the organization became a social center for members 9
to put on meetings, dinners, dances, and events, allowing them to 10
maintain their German heritage while becoming good American citizens, 11
and its accomplishments are a justifiable source of pride and an 12
outstanding reflection not only on the group itself but also on its 13
dedicated members and on the community; and 14
WHEREAS, Over the past century, German Club Edelweiss has enhanced 15
the quality of life within the surrounding area, and through its 16
generous contributions, it has earned the respect and gratitude of 17
many. We are certain that as this noteworthy organization maintains 18
its unfaltering commitment to service, it will continue in the 19
tradition of excellence that has long been its hallmark; and 20
WHEREAS, We are proud to note that it is through the unceasing 21
efforts of organizations such as German Club Edelweiss that Ohio has 22
gained a reputation as a state that is responsive to the needs of its 23
citizens and has remained a pleasant place in which to live and work. 24
This fine group is truly deserving of high praise; therefore be it 25
