Tanzgruppe
Traditional dance has long been an activity of the Trenton
Donauschwaben. There is a dance group within the club, an abteilung,
which has been active for many years.
In 2001 several of our young dancers (youth & adults) joined the Philadelphia Donauschwaben's dance group, our sister club, and
perform at special events throughout the year including the North
American Donauschwabentreffen each year since.
The group also performed at our 2008 Trachtenfest in Cleveland, Ohio & in
2009 in Detriot, MI with the Philly Donauschwaben. They also dance
throughout the year at various events in the Delaware Valley including
at the Phillies game Citizen's Bank Park.
In January 2010 the Adult Dance Group was brought back. They will perform
at the 2010 Donauschwabentreffen in Bucks County, PA August 6-7, 2010 at the
United German-Hungarian clubhouse.
For more information about the dance group contact a Club Officer.

AutoKlub
In early 2003, a group of Club members formed an auto club. The
members have participated in a number of car shows since then and have
won
many individual trophies.
The AutoKlub itself has won consecutive 4' trophies and cash prizes at the August 2003
and the August 2004 Cannstatter Auto Show in Philadelphia (for the most car club member
entries).
Our members own a variety of autos: Porsches, VW beetles
(classic, new & modified), VW Passats, BMWs, Mercedes, Audis, Corvettes,
an Olds Alero, a dune buggy, a classic Plymouth, motorcycles and several
other imports. On 9 July 2005 the Club and the German-American Society co-sponsored
the 1st
Euro-American Auto Show. It was a great success. Three of our members
won trophies at the 2005 Cannstatter car show in August. The club was
represented in 2006 with ten members. On 8 July
2006 we held our 2nd Annual Euro-American Auto Show. It too was a great
success. Our 3rd Annual show was held 7 July 2007. It too was a
great success. This year auto show T-shirts were available. Our
4th Annual show was held 12 July 2008. It too was a
great success.
Our 5th Annual was our biggest so far and another great success.
Our AutoKlubleiter is
Terry Huff of Terry's VW Service Center, Fallsington, PA. (215-736-1915)
More group outings and shows are planned
for 2010.
