SWISS NATIONAL HOLIDAY CELEBRATION
Sand Lake, NY
Sunday, July 29, 2007
starting at 2:30pm

We are very grateful to Paul Tobler, our Vice President, for inviting us to his beautiful place for the celebration of our Swiss National Holiday, the commemoration of the alliance of Uri, Schwyz and Untervalden, sworn in on the Ruetli Meadow in August 1291.

We will meet rain or shine starting at 2:30pm. The official part of our celebration starts at 4:30pm with the greeting and taped english address to the Swiss Abroad by the President of the Confederation, Mrs. Micheline Calm-Rey. Later we will listen to and maybe sing along some Swiss songs. A slide show of views of Switzerland will be on hand too. A great opportunity to enjoy the Swiss “camaraderie” we are famous for!

Hot Bratwurst, Schueblig, Landjaeger, rolls, coffee and soda will be for sale as well as the traditional First of August pin. As usual the funds raised with the sale of the pins will go to help the Pro Patria organization promote Swiss culture and preserve natural areas and historic buildings.

Please Bring a dish to share. We will set up a few tables, buffet style, for the enjoyment of all. Don’t forget to bring chairs and picnic tables if possible.


We hope to see you all at our Bundesfeier!
