National Champs

4 years ago today, a very proud moment for Green White Soccer Club. Our girls team won the National Championship. (Sadly, a little too late to be included in the book Grun Weiss Vor.)

Eckhartz Everyday

 

*On this day in 2013, legendary broadcaster and Eckhartz Press author John Records Landecker, made an appearance at the Green White Soccer Clubhouse in Mt. Prospect to promote our book Records Truly Is My Middle Name.

*May 20 is Jim Lyttle's birthday. Jim was an outfielder with the 1972 White Sox, and is featured in the Eckhartz Press book Chili Dog MVP.

*On this day in 2020, longtime Chicago television reporter Nancy Loo announced that she was leaving Chicago and moving to Los Angeles. Before she did, she offered this endorsement of the Eckhartz Press book Life Behind the Camera, by Chuck Quinzio..."Finished it in one sitting while on a flight from San Francisco to Chicago earlier this month! The writing is crisp and I enjoyed every chapter, many of them quite funny." 

Schlachtfest Week

 We made the sausage last night, and tomorrow we'll be handing out the orders for the virtual Schlachtfest. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Schlachtfest Week

  Before the pandemic I emceed a banquet every year for Green White Soccer Club called "Schlachtfest". It was a celebration of soccer and sausage. We crowned a soccer queen, gave out soccer awards, and ate sausage that we made ourselves. This year the event will be virtual. (We're making the sausage on Thursday night, and handing it out on Saturday).

This is from 2019...
