Der Deutsche Klub (German Club)

Each fall, the German Club sponsors Oktoberfest, our main outreach event and fundraiser that draws attendees from the University and Cookeville community. In the spring there is Kaffee und Kuchen, where German students and club members bake a variety of German confections to sell at Â鶹¹û¶³´«Ã½'s annual international festival, Window on the World.

Additionally, in the past, club members have also organized a Faschingsparty, a Wandertag, a Curry Wurst Sauce Competition and Easter Egg painting. Come join the fun!
