OCTOBER IS
DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE
AWARENESS
MONTH
Walk a Mile in Her Shoes Created in 2001, the ―Walk a Mile in Her Shoes‖ program started
out as a small group of men daring to totter around a park in high
heels in order to bring awareness to domestic violence. Today the
program has grown to become a world-wide movement with tens
of thousands of men raising millions of dollars for local rape crisis
centers, domestic violence shelters and other sexualized
violence education, prevention and remediation programs.
The Garmisch Army Community Service Center staff is partnering
with AAFES to schedule our very own ―Walk a Mile in Her Shoes‖ walk. Please check our Face-
book page for dates and times.
The Army Digital Photography Contest is an
annual event that recognizes the talent and
creativity of our Soldiers, Army Civilians and Fam-
ily members beyond their war-fighting duties.
Entries are submitted from Army Installations
worldwide to include Soldiers of deployed units.
Professional photographer and owner of
Photographic Designs Studio, Gary Lott, has
served as a judge and states, ―Overall, there
were lots of great images submitted. It was
obvious that many have a keen eye for the ele-
ments that go into making a great image‖. The
categories one can enter include: people, military

Outdoor Recreation, Pete Burke Community Center, and Trips and Tours
Weekend Getaways
Winterfest is Coming!
Friday, December 2, 6-9 p.m. Ready to kick off the 2011/2012 ski season? Winterfest is our
celebration to kick off the winter where we "pray for snow" by throw-
ing old skis in a bonfire, have competitive events to generate good
energy (biathlon) and get winter sports enthusiasts excited, cook
some good hot food (the event is partly outside), and generally get
the community together. For Garmisch Outdoor Recreation, "The
Alpine Experts," this winter will be our first winter in our brand new
facility - it is a beautifully renovated space with great light, in a
GREAT new location (across from the Community Mail Room) and
new winter sports equipment this year as well.
Partnachklamm and Alpspitze
Wellenbad
October 22 , 12:30 p.m., gorge $7, pool
$22, both $28 One of the most beautiful natural attractions
in this area is the Partnachklamm, a wonder-
ful canyon or gorge that is well worth seeing.
Then it is off to the town‘s largest swimming
pool, the Alpspitze Wellenbad, with its sau-
nas, steam bath, Jacuzzis, water slides and
more.
Columbus Day Weekend: Berlin
October 7-10, $430
For many people the most exciting city in
Germany is Berlin! Not only is it the capi-
tol of the country, it is the city that con-
stantly changes as it grows and reinvents
itself. There is a world of historic sites –
the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Char-
lie, and the remains of the Berlin Wall.
There is also a major art scene – every-
thing from old masters to contemporary
artists as well as interesting graffiti! The
History Museum is top notch and it is
only one of many historic sites worth see-
ing. There are three opera houses, the
Berlin Philharmonic, a myriad of plays
and the club scene has a lot going on in
terms of music as well!
Munich in the Third Reich
Friday, October 21 – video at 7 p.m.; Sun-
day, October 23 – 8 a.m. trip to Munich,
$35
One of our most popular tours, where we
recreate the Bier Hall Putsch exactly as it
happened in 1923. After lunch, we visit
the site of the Munich Accords (where
Czechoslovakia ceased to be an inde-
pendent unified country) and see some
other places associated with the Nazi
movement.
Venice/Verona
New Dates November 4-6 $270
One of our favorite offerings. There are
wonderful things to see; great art, archi-
tecture, pigeons in St. Mark‘s square,
and the Romeo and Juliet city with it‘s
wonderful Roman Arena.
Prague
November 10-13, $700
Often on the top of everyone‘s list of
places to visit in Europe. Saturday we‘ll
give you a guided walk through the city.
Anyone interested in attending the op-
era? We can arrange tickets. You‘ll have
free time as well to lose yourself in the
heart of Bohemia.
Paris for Thanksgiving
November 24-27, Call for pricing
We will be heading by train to Paris for
the long weekend. Late November is
the perfect time to visit the City of
Lights– the tourists from the summer
have dissipated so we‘ll have the city
comparatively speaking to ourselves.
Call for more information.

year’s Summer Sports Festival
Here are just a couple of the activities offered by ODR during the
winter season.
Ski Austria Bus
Get on the Ski Express Bus, and leave the driving to us! We visit a
different ski area each time, and visit some out of the way places.
Night Sledding
It is an all mountain, high tech, adrenaline sport. We call it; ―the other
winter sport‖. Imagine a completely groomed and lighted ski run just
for sleds, with a cable car to get you back up, all night long!

Ballets, Concerts, and Operas in Munich Cost: $12 for transportation only One of the best things about living in the countryside around Garmisch-Partenkirchen is that our beautiful village

for. If you are interested in acquiring season tickets for any of these events, please contact us at DSN 440-
