St.
Louis – The
German American Heritage Society of Saint Louis
(GAHS) celebrated its 21st Weihnachtsparty hosted
by Webster University’s Dean of Students and GAHS Board
Member, David Carl Wilson, at the university’s Love
Foundation Alumni House located on its Webster Groves
campus. German
Christmas carols could be heard coming from the festively
decorated living room led in song by GAHS accordionist and
Board Member, Hermann
Eisele. More
than 60 GAHS members and guests gathered on an unseasonably
mild Sunday December 11, 2011 afternoon to share the
Weihnachtsfest spirit. Thanks to the generous variety of
special Weihnachtsparty culinary treats brought by members,
no one was left wanting for fine food and friendly spirits
during this annual Christmas event. Donations were collected this year for the German School Association of Greater St. Louis.
