[Pgla] The Germanic - American Institute in the Twin Cities

[Frank.Kessler at ec.europa.eu]

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
