PLEASE NOTE DAY AND TIME CHANGE! Join us as we celebrate Erntedankfest, the Pomeranian Thanksgiving, with traditions, food, drink and music. The evening begins with a social time at 6:00 p.m., followed by a potluck dinner at 6:30 p.m. The Pommersche Spaldeel, our sister group, will lead the entertainment, including the traditional harvest parade. Bring a potluck dish to pass. You may also bring a decorated tool for the harvest parade. Come and join in the harvest celebration.

At this meeting, Associate Director Antje Petty will share information about the resources that Max Kade has available to help genealogists in their research in a presentation called: “German-Language Materials in America: Resources for Genealogists at the Max Kade Institute.”

The Max Kade Institute for German-American Studies is part of the College of Letters and Science at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. It is dedicated to researching, preserving, and sharing the stories of German- speaking immigrants and their descendants in the larger context of global migration past and present.

“Weihnachtsfest,” is the Pomeranian Christmas celebration. Usher in the Christmas season by learning about some special traditions of our heritage and join in singing traditional carols. Bring a dessert to share. Bring other members of your family or friends if desired.
