Welcome! Dobro došli!
Dear Members and Families of
Kraljica Jelena,
Welcome to our 37th year of
sharing our Croatian Heritage
through music and dance!
I am honoured once again to
be President of this wonderful
organization. I welcome the
newest members to KJ’s odbor
and welcome back the old! 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. Please ensure you read
through the danas for the
scheduled times for your groups
set time with Željko.
Looking forward to making
great things happen in 2014-15!!
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!!
Diana Štajduhar, Predsjednica

Ako mi ne sačuvamo našu baštinu, tko će?

BINGO!
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.

Karlovich before November 1. She can be

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.

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!
