The
Advisory
Board Picnic was warm, but wunderbar
Thanks
to Hank & Gini Schreimann's hospitality at their Carlyle
Lake Club House, the annual German American Heritage
Society (GAHS) Advisory Board Picnic was well-attended
on Sunday, August 8th by a festive group of both the
GAHS Board and Advisory Board members. There was plenty
of exceptionally good food provided by members, a
variety of relief bringing cold beverages and more than
enough summer heat to share at this year's event. Advisory
Board members, Balladeer Jim Stemmler and Musikmeister
Joe Hoffmann on the accordion, led the friendly group in a
few favorite German folk tunes. Other Advisory Board members
attending were, Gary & Traude, as well as Dr. Steven
Rowan. The picnic is an annual "thank you" event for the extra time and special talents that our Advisory Board members contribute in support of the Society. for
