| Due to some misunderstandings
with the official name of our group "German-American Men's Club"
we want
everybody to know that the GAMC is open for women for almost 10 years
now. The
title will be kept for traditional reasons only.
| Vision of the GAMC
The
chaining between the United States of America
and Germany
has been grown in centuries. It withstood the conflict of the Second
World War
and has increased during the Cold War and the partnership in the NATO
alliance.
Globalization and shifting alliances, changing ruling parties and their
leaders
may threaten the friendship between both nations. So it has to be
cultivated
and strengthened by perpetual efforts.
The
German-American Men’s Club of Middle Franconia wants to bring people of
all
nations together to promote and foster greater appreciation of both
nations
traditions, customs, history and culture. It wants to promote good
friends and
neighbours and create improved mutual understanding and
confidence.
Mission
The
German-American Men’s Club of Middle Franconia was founded in 1970 by
Germans,
Americans and members of the area’s Military Communities and is one oft
he most
prestigious clubs in Franconia.
The Club
has matured over the years, but the overall purposes have remained the
same, the
desire to bring together Germans, Americans, and English speaking
people of
other nations for educational, recreational, and social activities
sponsored by
the Club.
Over the
years, the Club has visited museums, churches, palaces and castles, and
the
wine growing areas of this wonderful region of Northern
Bavaria. The goal of the German-American Men’s Club
is to continue
in this tradition, increasing its membership, and continuing to add
contributions to International understanding. English speaking men and
women of
all nations are invited to join.
The
Club
language is English. Club Members may sponsor applicants for membership
or
applicants may contact the club secretary directly if they are
interested in
joining.
