Welcome
to our Web site!
It is with great pleasure for me to introduce you
to the G.T.E.V. Schlierachtaler Stamm Inc. I hope
you'll take some time to learn more about us and what
we do as you explore our website.
"Treu
dem Guten Alten Bauch"
Year 2005 marks the 77th Anniversary since the founding
of our Schuhplattler verien in New York City in 1928.
The mission of our clubs founders continues to grow
and each year becomes stronger as we foster our commitment
to our club motto-"Treu dem Guten Alten Brauch"
(True to the Good Old Traditions). The dedication
of our membership continues to strive and upholds
the spirit of Bavarian culture and traditions in their
everyday lives in America.
"Building
the Future on the Strength of our Past"
Our founding members, along with the many who have
joined our organization during the many years have
worked very hard to firmly anchor the Schlierachtaler
along with Bavarian heritage, traditions, culture,
values, and ideas and values solidly within the melting
pot of everyday America life.
Visitors
to New York City from all around the world who may
had the opportunity to visit us and see us in tracht
performing the schuhplattler are amazed on our, as
we remain steadfast to the traditional aspect of the
costume, dance, and music.
My
wife Marie and I have been associated with the Schlierachtaler
for over 50-years, as we look back, we are most proud
of our organizations accomplishments, its leadership
role within the German-American community, and also
on the hard work of our members whom remain true to
our cause. The success of the Schlierachtaler remains
focused on young people, who have a love for dance,
music, and song. The youth have helped us to flourish
and this is why the success of our Kindergruppe is
so important, as it represents the future!
