	Subject: The Germanic - American Institute in the Twin Cities
	
	
	Liewe Freind,
	 
	I would like to make you aware of the latest newsletter of the Germanic - American Institute in the Twin Cities in Minnesota: 
	http://www.gai-mn.org/gaimn/newsletter.html
	 
	This very active German - American organization supports several activities for children, teenagers and young adults and offers before and after school German language classes at several elementary schools in the Metro area. By doing so it helps to keep German alive and thriving in Minnesota and Wisconsin school districts!
	 
	If we want to keep the PG dialect among the church people in southeast PA alive, the PGS, the PG Heritage Center and the PG minor at Kutztown University, the Groundsow Lodges and all other organizations with in interest in PG dialect and culture will have to join forces in order to create a similarly wide range of offers related to PG dialect and culture.
	 
	Best regards and mach's gut,
	 
	Eier Frank vun Brüssel 
	 
	From the June 2007 edition of the newsletter: 

	Spiel und Krabbelgruppe

	A playgroup for German-speaking parents and grandparents and their children/grandchildren. The group meets Wednesday mornings at 10:00 AM in the Carriage House.

	Kinderstammtisch

	This children's group meets from September to May, typically the third Saturday of the month. All activities are conducted "auf Deutsch." Focus is on songs, games, and puzzles.

	Jugendgruppe

	A youth group (ages 10 - 18) that meets to do various activities throughout the year. Fluency in German is not required to join this group, but a good working knowledge is necessary.

	Kreuz und Quer

	Group geared toward young adult German speakers. Both native and non-native are welcome. It is a social and conversation group that meets twice a month, alternating between Minneapolis and St.Paul.

	 GAI SOMMERSCHULE: REGISTRATION STILL AVAILABLE FOR JUNE LANGUAGE CAMP

	The GAI offers before and after school German language classes at several elementary schools in the Metro area.

Help us keep German alive and thriving in Minnesota and Wisconsin school districts!
