Meetings
The MSU German Club holds regular meetings on (mostly) alternating Tuesdays, at 7:30 p.m., in Wells B-102. The next meeting, a Spielabend, is February 26. At these meetings, we can discuss upcoming events, watch German films or TV shows, listen to German music, and more. The current favorite activity is board games - we have German versions of Monopoly, Clue, Settlers of Cattan, and more! If you have an idea for a club meeting, let us know. We share this general time slot with the German Film Series - there will always be either German Club or a film from the series, so come every week! See the bottom of this page or download the calendar for the complete meeting schedule. Films are at 7:15 p.m.
Special Events
In addition, the German Club coordinates the occasional special event. Last semester we sent volunteers to the Lansing Old Town Oktoberfest and took a trip to Uncle John's Cider Mill with the CMU German Club. This semester, we already had an awesome Faschingsparty. We would also like to have a picnic and possibly a trip to Frankenmuth. Let us know if you want to help plan!
See event photos at the Facebook group.
Fußball
The German Club also has its own soccer team in the intramural indoor league. If you like to play, send us an email and we'll tell you all about it. A complete game schedule is on the calendar. Those who aren't playing, go to some games and cheer on your friends!
If all goes well, we will represent Germany once again at the Spartan World Cup! The date is TBA, but we'll let you know. For pictures of last year's cup, see the Facebook group.
Relay For Life
This year, German Club is sponsoring a team for Relay For Life. Relay is a 24 hour event, held April 18-19, to raise money for the American Cancer Society. There will be over sixty teams walking the track by the stadium, camping out, and having a good time. If you think you might want to participate, let us know! You can also sign up at spartanrelay.com - just find our team, MSU German Club. We will be doing weekly bottle/can drives until then. You can help us collect or return cans and bottles, or you can save your own returnables for us.
