The Texas German Day Council serves as an “umbrella” organization for the many German groups in the North Texas area. Once a year the TGDC organizes a gala celebration, the German Pioneer Ball, to bring together all those in the North Texas area who have a connection to Germany to celebrate and share German culture. This year, the German-Texan Heritage Society was honored at the Gala. The patrons created a rich tapestry representing many people from our community!
Thank you for making the 2011 German Pioneer Ball such a wonderful success!!!
The NEXT German Pioneer Ball, the 50th Annual German Pioneer Ball, will be Saturday, October 13, 2012 from 6 p.m. to midnight at the Sheraton Grand DFW Hotel in Irving. It is black-tie optional. Enjoy…
- A three course seated dinner accompanied by the Frohsinn Kapelle
- Dancing to the fabulous big-band sounds of the Dynamic Swing Machine
- A silent auction with splendid bargains
- A drawing and raffle benefiting German-language education
- A fun night celebrating Texas-German heritage
The goal of the 49th Annual German Pioneer Ball was to raise funds to benefit German-language Education. Two German-language schools in the North Texas area will receive grants from the Texas German Day Council. They are:
Dallas Goethe Center German Language School
German International School of Dallas
Language is at the heart of preserving and sharing culture and these deserving institutions are dedicated to the teaching of German at a time when other institutions are cutting back their German-language programs. The more participation we achieve for the gala, the more we are able to help these fine schools!
