pleasure of the visit of Consul Thomas

Consulate General in New York City.
We will also be joined by Ruedi Frischknecht and his accordion +
alphorn.
The official part of our
celebration starts at 4:00pm with the greeting and taped english address to the
Swiss Abroad by the President of the Confederation, Didier Burkhalter.
Hot Bratwurst, rolls, coffee
and soda will be served and the traditional First of August pin will be for

with Switzerland. 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.
Return your response by July
22nd to give us a better idea of how many participants we can expect. This will
make our preparations easier. Also please

Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to enjoy our Swiss
“camaraderie”. We hope to see you all at our Bundesfeier.
