Thank you for your interest in the German American Women’s Club, Stuttgart! We encourage you to learn about the club and have instituted a list of minimum requirements we feel prospective members should complete in order to fully understand our club and the work we do.
Meaning and Purpose of the German American Women’s Club, Stuttgart:
The German American Women’s Club (GAWC) was founded by a group of German and American women after World War II. They set forth the following objectives:
* To create an atmosphere of cooperation, understanding, and friendship among people of different nationalities.
* To promote contact between club members outside the regular monthly meetings.
* To help needy people, irrespective of creed, race, or nationalities, as much as possible within the capabilities of the organization.
* To promote international student exchange and youth activities.
Minimum Requirements:
Our club has several projects which are the foundation of our club, helping to further the club’s purpose and objectives. We outline the following minimum requirements for our prospective members which include these obligations. Your sponsor and the membership chairperson are your points-of-contact for dates and locations of these events.
Pfennig Bazaar: Our most significant fundraiser is our annual Pfennig Bazaar. Though officially lasting a few days itself in October, the work we put into a successful bazaar continues year-round (i.e. Presorting). Only active participation on the part of club members will bring forth a satisfactory end-result: a successful bazaar! The monies earned at the bazaar are distributed to the community through various German and American social organizations needing financial support.
General Membership Meetings: Our monthly events allow us the opportunity to connect with each other as well as learn about different cultures and other subjects. Prospective members must attend at least three events prior to applying.
Additional Opportunities to Demonstrate your Commitment:
Prospective members also have other opportunities to get to know our club and reach out to the community:
Vesperkirche (Soup Kitchen): The purpose of this project is to provide homeless people with food and empathy. We support this project from mid-January to mid-March at the Leonhardskirche in Stuttgart.
Robert Bosch Rehabilitation Clinic: This is a visiting service we provide every other Wednesday afternoon.
Informal Club Activities Two opportunities open to you to get to know other club members are “Chat at M” and “Stammtisch.” Chat at M is held one Wednesday a month from 10:00 – noon in the Breuninger department store (downtown Stuttgart). Stammtisch is held the last Wednesday of each month at the Sanwald Brauerei-Wirtshaus, Silberburgstr. 157 in Stuttgart. We invite you to take advantage of these two options to enjoy a bite to eat and get to know us, too!
Questions? Should you have any questions regarding the club or the membership requirements, please do not hesitate to contact your sponsor or Membership Chairperson.
