Get Your German on at the Edelweiss Restaurant

Feb. 27, 2012 - PRLog -- COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. –The German American Chamber of Commerce – Colorado (GACC-CO) is establishing a Stammtisch (a German language conversation group), open to the public, at the Edelweiss Restaurant on Wednesday, March 14, 2012. The idea is for those people in the Colorado Springs area to have an occasion to use or improve their German language skills on a recurring basis. The Stammtisch meetings will repeat on the second Wednesday of each month . Based in Denver, the chamber is making a concerted effort to support cultural activities and to expand its presence to more areas in Colorado during 2012.

There is no charge for the Stammtisch Meeting on Wednesday, March 14, which begins at 6:30 pm and is a typical Stammtisch where the conversation covers most any topic while enjoying a beer or dinner. The event ends at 9pm.

According to German Chamber vice president, Fred Beisser, “The event has two desired outcomes, first for German speaking residents of the Springs to have a regular place to gather informally and enhance their German language skills while enjoying a relaxed atmosphere and libations. Secondly, the idea is also to raise awareness of the German American Chamber of Commerce and its activities throughout the state.”

Location is the Rathskeller of the Edelweiss Resstaurant (http://www.EdelweissRest.com) at 34 East Ramona Avenue. There  is also a group on Facebook as “Stammtisch - Colorado Springs“ where those interested can keep up with forthcoming activities. More information available by sending an email to Info@GACC-CO.org.
