Hi everyone, In this year's DVHH Newsletter I announced a contest open to DVHH members. The challenge is to write a short story about your Donauschwaben family history or heritage limited to 2,500 words. There is no lower limit - if you can tell a great story in one paragraph, it will be accepted.With the upper word limit in mind, you might want to focus on one aspect of your life, or perhaps a story passed on to you.Your story will be published on the DVHH.org website and one story will be selected to be published in next year's newsletter.You can email your stories to me at Schwob@earthlink.net. I look forward to hearing from you! If you are not a member and would like to know more, please visit the DVHH.org membership page at http://www.dvhh.org/membership/ Best regards, Dan Larson DVHH President
Dan: Great idea! I have for sometime now been thinking about writing a few things that just might be interesting to a few people, but then I though I was over stepping the boundary and almost emailed Eve Brown to for her opinion. I would love to hear a few stories and can tell a few stories myself. I don't want to enter the contest because I do not want to submit a few stories on that basis. But I think back of things that happened and would like to share some of these stories and at the same time hear others. Looking forward to it!

Dan, Can we clarify here what "members only" means? Are we talking mail list members (actually subscribers), or DVHH members that pay annual dues? Just thought this may be confusing to some.
