April 2020 Mustard Club meeting cancelled

/
sad-beer-nar.jpg

As you may have guessed, this month’s Mustard Club meeting has been cancelled. It is really hard to believe we are in this place and time none of us would ever have imagined. With that said, this Saturday, have a meeting of your own! Take a picture and tag Händlmaier Mustard Club on Facebook! If you don’t know how, contact one of the board members listed below and we will post them for you. Have a bier and some sausages! Most of all share Gemütlichkeit!

Additionally, we are thinking about our friends at Mecklenburg during this difficult time. As you know, Mecklenburg is our home as well as yours. We are partnering with CinciDeutsch and the FC Cincinnati fan club, Die Innenstadt, to help promote gift cards, carryout orders from Mecklenburg, and possibly a Go Fund Me to help. Mecklenburg currently only has 3 of their 30 employees working.

If you have any thoughts or ideas on other ways to help, please contact a board Member. We have helped a number before. This is for our home.
