I look forward to working together with not only the odbor but all of our members to make this year a great success. KJ’s season has officially started and it was wonderful to see so many familiar faces, and some new ones, this past Monday at our first Junior and Intermediate practices. Looking forward to seeing the YAs, Parents and Adult Tambura Group as well! Our first Željko workshop will be taking place this coming Sunday Oct 5th the Hrvatski Dom.

Štovani članovi i obitelji Kraljice Jelene, Dobro došli u našu 37. godinu dijeljenja naše hrvatske baštine kroz glazbu i ples! Čast mi je ponovno biti predsjednik ove divne organizacije. Pozdravljam najnovije članove KJovog odbora i želim dobrodošlicu natrag bivšima! Radujem se suradnji ne samo s odborom, ali sa svim našim članovima da bi ova godina bila uspješna. Sezonu smo službeno započeli, i divno je bilo vidjeti toliko poznata lica, a i neka nova, prošlog ponedjeljka na našim prvim probama Juniora i Intermediates. Veselim se vidjeti YAs, roditelje, i našu odraslu tamburašku skupinu također! Naše prve probe sa Željkom će se održati u nedjelju 5. listopada u Hrvatskom Domu. Molimo da pročitate kroz Danas da vidite određeno vrijeme za probe sa Željkom. Veselim se, i nadam se da ćemo imati uspješnu 2014-15 godinu!!

Bingo is a very important part of fundraising for KJ. Our group receives approximately $15,000 each year in revenue from bingo. We are scheduled for bingo every second Tuesday through the entire year. Each family is required to work two bingos throughout the year. The sign up sheet for 2014/2015 is available now and will be posted on the KJ information board. If you have not already signed up, please do so as soon as possible. You will receive an email or telephone reminder a few days prior to the bingo that you have signed up for, please confirm that you have received the message by replying to the email or returning the message. When you have completed a bingo, you will receive $100 back from the fees that you paid at registration. If you are unable to work your bingo as scheduled and KJ must find someone to work your bingo, you forfeit your $100 and the individual who covers your bingo will get $50. If you make arrangements for someone to work you bingo, you will receive your $100 refund. IMPORTANT!! Please arrive at K-W GAMING CENTRE at 501 Krug Street in Kitchener (Krug Street Plaza) by 7:45 on your scheduled date. You should plan to be there until approximately midnight.

Taking care of your tambura Do you have any old opanke? One of the most important parts of playing tambura, besides practice, is keeping your tambura clean. Any time you play it—like it or not—you get it dirty. The natural oils in your fingers get all over the strings and frets, and if you don’t take care of your tambura the strings— as well as the rest of your instrument—will get ruined. Before you play your tambura, always make sure your hands are clean. After you finish practicing, use a cloth to wipe your strings and wherever you’ve touched it with your fingers to keep your tambura clean and long lasting. We are again collecting pairs of gently used opanke which you may no longer need for yourself or your kids in order to provide for some of our younger ones. If you have any old pairs of opanke that you think others may be able to get some use out of, please bring them to the KJ office on Sundays or Mondays. Likewise, if you need opanke for your child or yourself, pop into the office to see what we have available. Jedna od najvažnijih stvari kod sviranje tambure, izvan praktisiranja, je uzdržavanje čistoće tambure. Svaki put kada svirate—voljeli ili ne—isprljate tamburu. Prirodno ulje u koži prstiju dođe na žice i ostale djelove, i ako ne sačuvate tamburu žice ćete—a i cijeli instrumenat—uništiti. Prije nego što počnete svirati morate osigurati da su vam ruke čiste. Nakon probe, obrišite žice sa krpom, i gdje god ste dirali s prstima tako da je tambura čista i dugo traje. Počeli smo opet sakupljati stare ali još uvijek dobre opanke ako ih imate ali nemožete više koristiti. Ako imate stare opanke što mislite drugi bi mogli koristiti, molimo vas da ih donesete u naš ured nedjeljom ili ponedjeljkom. Također, ako trebate opanke za se ili za vašu djecu, dođite u ured i pogledajte što imamo. S LU ŽB E N O G LA S I LO D R U Š T V A K R A LJ I C E J E LE N E DANAS PAGE 5 The Importance of Fundraising One of the most important parts of any group is its fiscal well-being. For groups such as Kraljica Jelena, fundraising is very important—memberships and fees can only help raise so much money. It is up to all members to actively participate in the fundraising efforts of the group so we succeed. There are several things all members can do in order to help us succeed as an organization. 1. Don’t wait to be asked Many of you have been helpful and supportive in the past, we only ask you to keep it up! Those of you who are new to the group, getting involved in various activities will help you get to know some of the other great people that make up KJ. 2. Invite others to participate Ask your friends and neighbours to come to our events. It is great that you support our activities, but we want to get the greater community involved. 3. Bring us your ideas! We can’t do it alone. We have a fantastic executive, and a great fundraising committee, but we can always use more ideas and more help. In the end, it will be our children who will reap the rewards. And we will all benefit. Kraljica Jelena has existed for thirty-five years thanks to the hard work and dedication of its members. They have left us a group that is the epitome of preservation of our culture in our community, let’s not let it go to waste! Važan dio bilo kakve organizacije je njena financijska dobrobit. Za grupe kao što je Kraljica Jelena, skupljanje sredstava je jako važno—članarina nemože platiti onoliko koliko se može potrošiti. Ostane na svim članovima da aktivno sudjeluju u sakupljanju sredstava ako ćemo da uspijemo. Postoje neke stvari što bi mogli svi članovi učiniti da nam pomognu uspjeti kao organizacija. 1. Nemojte čekati da vas se pita Mnogi od vas pomaže, i podržavate nas, možemo samo vas moliti da tako nastavite! Oni od vas koji su novi u skupini, uključite se u razne aktivnosti tako da možete lakše se upoznati s drugim ljudima u KJ. 2. Pozovite druge da učestvuju Pitajte svoje prijatelje i susjede da dođu na naše priredbe. Dobro je što vi podržavate naše aktivnosti, ali želimo da se šira zajednica isto uključi u naša zbivanja. 3. Donesite nam svoje ideje! Ne možemo sve učiniti sami. Imamo fantastičan odbor i marljiv komitet za fundraising, ali uvijek možemo koristiti više ideja i vašu pomoć. Na kraju, naša će djeca biti nagrađena. A i mi svi ćemo isto imati od toga koristi. Kraljica Jelena postoji već trideset i pet godina, zahvaljujući napornim radom i zalaganjem svojih članova. Oni su ostavili nam skupinu koja je simbol očuvanja naše kulture u našoj zajednici, nemojmo dopustiti da propane!
