Attention All Club Members

The 125th Anniversary Committee is looking for photographs of our longtime families. Particularly, we are looking for photos of families that have been members of the Reading Liederkranz for four or more generations. These photos will be featured in our Fest booklet.

If your family have been members for four or more generations, (family members not old enough to register, under 21 years of age, are included), please take a photo of your family and e-mail it to info@readingliederkranz.com or bring it to the club..

We are also looking for memorabilia and photos from the old club...and times long past. All items and photos will be returned.

The Reading Liederkranz Scholarship Committee is happy to announce details for the scholarship fundraiser, 8 August 2009. Click here to download the flyer to purchase tickets to "Liederkranz in Paradise - Jimmy Buffet Style". You can view the flyer on the Student Scholarships page of the website.

Festival-goers across the nation have a love affair going on with America’s number one German Band, (dSb) die Schlauberger. And no wonder – this band is a powerhouse of musical expertise and expends enough energy to light up not only the crowd, but the fairgrounds, too. From the moment they step on stage until they have wrung the final note from their last song, die Schlauberger has the audience up and dancing to their powerful renditions of German favorites and other crowd pleasing tunes. die Schlauberger engages everyone within earshot to "expect the unexpected." Don’t miss the band whose very mission is "Keeping the Traditionalists on their Feet and the New Generation Interested."
