We are working on a new site. Check back
soon for the new look!
DO THE SURVEY AND GIVE YOUR FEEDBACK!
Do
you want a chance to win a $25 gift certificate for the Dutch Store? Of
course you do! Whether you're a current member of the DCA or not we'd
like to hear from you. To be eligible, all you have to do is fill out a
short survey about the DCA in the Ottawa Valley/Outaouais region. One
entry per household. We'll draw the winner's name at the DCA's Annual
General Meeting on April 19, 2010. The survey results will be of great
help to the DCA Board.
Please follow the
appropriate link to complete the survey:
We are in North America,
so we've got to cover our butt. We are a group of volunteers, not
lawyers, nor (fallen) high paid C.E.O.s. So please check info at the
proper authorities. We just help you find your way.
Activities in the coming
months
2010
March
CANCELLED Sunday, March 7, 2010 - Skating at Rideau
Hall
We've just been advised that the rink at Rideau Hall has been
closed early because of the mild weather.
Unfortunately, that means the DCA's ice
skating evening, scheduled for Sunday, March 7, has been
cancelled. We apologize
to all those aspiring to be the next Sven Kramer or Ireen Wust
(or Tessa Virtue or Scott Moir). Hopefully the weather will be
more cooperative next winter.
Friday, March 19, 2010 - Schnitzel evening
This is a direct result of the DCA Idea Box at the Sinterklaas
Party on November 28, 2009. Schnitzel Night happens on the third
Friday of each month during February, March and April, 2010. The
Dutch Canadian Association has chosen the month of March: Date:
Friday, March 19, 2010, starting at 6 pm.
Location: German Club, 3928 Farmers Way, Carlsbad Springs,
Ontario. (Queensway Exit Anderson Road).
The cost is $ 17.- per person, including taxes. This also
includes dessert, coffee & tea. It is usually a sit-down meal,
i.e. it is served. There is a cash bar and background music. As
we have to reserve the seating in advance, registration is
necessary as soon as possible. Final closing date March 12,
2010.
Please send an e-mail to Nel Korver, if you are interested and
would like to join us. Everyone is welcome, but DCA members will
have priority! After March 12 you will receive an affirmation,
that you are registered for March 19, 2010.
