The German Stammtisch meets now on Thursday from 9 p.m. - come and join us. This is a great time for practicing German while having fun! Meet German residents of Tuscaloosa, i.e. German students, employees of Mercedes and other companies as well as students of German. Come and join the crowd!
The German Club is organizing this weekley event. Any questions? Just email Tim or check out "Deutschklub" on UA Facebook.

 Specific activities vary from year to year depending on the interest of the students. Past activities of the German Club have included a fall Oktoberfest, a Christmas party, a Fasching or Karneval celebration, and trips to Mercedes and a German restaurant in Birmingham. The German Club has also occasionally sponsored a Kulturabend of German music and readings in the spring semester.
