April Herrenabend (SOLD OUT)
Friday, April 14th | 7pm
Herrenabend (men's night) is one of the BSV's oldest traditions, originating at the club more than 100 years ago.

While meal tickets have already sold out, non-ticketed guests are still welcome to join us for drinks/cocktails.
April Freundeskreis
Sunday, April 16th | 2-4PM
Please join us for our next gathering of friends on April 16th at 2 p.m. in the Ratskeller. We will have a presentation by two students, Zoe and Nate, who spent the academic year 2021-2022 studying at a Gymnasium in Germany as exchange students. They would love to share their experiences with us. Zoe goes to Walpole High School and Nate to Westwood High School. Both were recipients of the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Scholarship Program. Nate is presently enrolled in the Advanced Class at the BSV Thursday School and Zoe visits the club during these hours to practice her German.
JoAnn Busch will give a brief introduction about this exchange program. Don’t miss what promises to be an interesting and informative event. You can sign up online for this event, but walk-ins are always welcome. Please bring a food item to share or make a $5 contribution.
For any questions, feel free to contact Angelika Evans at evans.afz@gmail.com or Dorothy Dean at doadean@gmail.com .
