A frequently asked question is: "Must I be German or have a German ancestry to become a member of the Saengerbund?" The answer is absolutely not! You simply have to have an interest in being part of an organization that celebrates the diverse German culture and heritage.
As a member you will be able to participate in any or all of the following club-sponsored activities:
Choral Singing: We maintain both a men's and a women's and mixed choral groups which practice every Friday night (except during the summer). The club has won numerous awards in various competitions throughout the years and is always looking for enthusiastic singers.
Schützenverein: German marksmanship club
Eisstockschießen: Outdoor ice curling
Cooking and Baking Club: Learn to make traditional German fare and delicacies
Book Club: Read German authors in English and partake in lively discussions
Skat (Card Game) Instruction: Learn to play the official card game of Germany (lessons given Friday nights at the club) and travel to play the game competitively
In addition, you will receive the Saengerbund newsletter and details about all member events like Schlachtfest.
Membership is available to all who are interested. The yearly cost is $70 (individual) and $110 (family). Applications are available at the club and can be completed and submitted on any Friday night or at any special event. Each application must have the sponsoring signature of one club member. There is no requirement for members to work at or attend special events, though we hope you will support the group's efforts and interests!
