Did you know that in Maryland, October is German-American Heritage Month. To celebrate this honor German Marylanders will be posting a daily German Maryland figure or tradition that helped make Maryland what it is today, as well as why, Maryland continues their German Heritage! So, tune in each day for our daily post and while you are out and about CELEBRATE and let those around you know..we are proud of our German heritage.

The Maryland General Assembly passed legislation in 2014 declaring October ‘German-American Heritage Month’. This was several years and multiple struggles in the making. It is now time to celebrate our heritage, ‘our month’.

The Act specifically states in §13-405
(a) The Governor annually shall proclaim the month of October as German-American Heritage Month in recognition of the contributions that German Americans have made to the State.
b) The proclamation shall urge educational and cultural organizations to observe German-American Heritage Month properly with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

We had a nice gathering yesterday at the Valley View Restaurant, with 16 of our members present. The food was good and prices reasonable, but the best part, of course, was the company.
