Auf Deutsch, bitte…

It is with great sorrow that I share the news that our board president (for almost as long as I have been director of the Goethe House), Hon. Ted E. Wedemeyer, Jr. has passed.  His obituary, which details his extraordinary commitment to the community, can be found at www.jsonline.com under Obituaries.

An outstanding youth choir from Minden in northern Germany, named Tookula (www.tookula.de), is coming to Milwaukee to sing a concert at Mount Mary College that evening. The group presents a very entertaining show!

Our annual picnic will be Saturday, August 16th from 10:30 to 2:00 in Lake Park, site 1.
The Goethe House will once again provide Bratwurst and Beverages.  Please bring a dish to pass (it does not have to be German) and join the conversation (which may be in German).  Mahlzeit!

We thank you for patience as we continue to settle in our lovely new location at the MSOE Alumni Partnership Center, on the Southeast corner of Juneau and Broadway.

Mondays 12 to 5
Wednesdays 12 to 5
Fridays 12 to 5
And by appointment.
