Our Annual events include the Opening or
Prinzenkrönung around November 11th; Kappenabend
or Crazy Hat Night where all attending are encouraged to make and wear silly
homemade hats; Weiberfastnacht, where women rule and men generally need to dress as women
to participate (or are not allowed to participate at all), Maskenball
or Kostümball just before Lent and Lumpenball or "Hobo Evening," when everyone "appears to be
broke."
Monthly Meetings
Meetings are held once per month at 7:30 and are usually
at the Klub Haus on Rice Street in St. Paul.
We frequently gather at 7:00 to obtain and review the minutes from the last
meeting and to visit. The Klub Haus is about 3 blocks south of Maryland and Rice.
The meetings start off with a
business meeting with the primary focus being the planning of future events. Refreshments are usually also
available during and after the meeting during a fellowship hour. The December meeting includes more refreshments and includes
somewhat of a Christmas party. Although the preceding indicates what usually
happens, meeting locations and formats can vary somewhat from month to
month.

club meeting.
The club is governed by a board of directors. In
addition to the monthly meetings for the entire club, the board also meets
monthly. Much of the focus of the board is also on future events and the
organization and operation of the club.
