The German-American Friendship Association Siegelbach celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2005.

Like in recent years, German classes will be taught and members are invited to participate in special events.

“We never thought that our German and English language program would turn into such a big success,” said Erhard Weber, German president of GAFAS. “We hope to give our members the skills to understand the language and the environment they live in. We want them to make friends for their lifetime.”
