Milwaukee Deutsch

Milwaukee, WI

Milwaukee Deutsch
We are Milwaukee's German language networking and meetup group. Whether you are from a German speaking country and have moved here recently, have lived in Milwaukee for a couple of years, or you speak German as a second language we invite you to our meetups. If you are interested in practicing your language skill or socializing with other German speakers, the German Language Meetup Group is a great way to meet people and get involved in the community. The German Language Meetup group meets in five different locations each month. We will inform you about the many fun activities and family and cultural events happening in Milwaukee throughout the year. These activities and events appeal to a broad range of members, which includes couples, singles and families. Check out our Activities & Events site for more information. Where we have come from . . .  The Meetup website was started in 2006 to gather in one place the various stammtisch groups in the Milwaukee area. Heiko Zuerker, a German language and culture enthusiast, took the lead and made arrangements for creating the website. He had started and grown a stammtisch at Kegel's Inn on Saturday nights. Zuerker managed and financially supported the site, followed by Elisabeth Sammer-Kohls and John Dienhart. Today the organizer is Sandy Casterline. All the Stammtische are conveniently listed in one place. The earliest German language groups were started via "word of mouth" and with hosts managing email lists to remind attendees of the next Meetup date. Today there are five thriving Stammtische. > Stammtisch Downtown Milwaukee: Petra Theurich and Sabine Schwark organized a Meetup downtown at The Old German Beer Hall when it opened in 2005. The moved to Cafe Brucke and then to the Über Tap Room and Cheese Bar. > Lake Country Stammtisch: Petra started another group at Weissgerber's Gasthaus shortly thereafter which thrived in that one location until Weissgerber's closed and the group moved on to the Delafield Brew Haus and finally to the Thunder Bay Grill. > Germantown Stammtisch: The stammtisch at the Von Rothernburg Vierstube in Germantown was started by Eveline Kehlert in 2013 and is currently next door at the Old Town Bier Hall, complete with a Hunde Bar (your dog will not go thirsty) and live music. > Stammtisch Cafe Bavaria: The Cafe Bavaria Stammtisch was stated in 2015 by Doug Scott, which boasts a Stammtisch Ecke. > Kenosha-Racine Stammtisch: This Stammtisch was organized by John Kiel and Petra Theurich in 2015 and moves between the Mars Cheese Castle and a summer outdoor location. The groups are autonomous with individual hosts. The Meetup website lists further hosts who are involved today and it also occasionally lists other German events in the Greater Milwaukee community. Others, though not listed, have contributed and continue to do so to keep our Milwaukee Deutsch culture alive. The Meetup website is the place for information on the current group locations, dates and times. We invite you to join us in promoting and supporting German language and culture! Your Organizer team!

Junto Waukesha (20s Friends and Socialization)

Waukesha, WI

Junto Waukesha (20s Friends and Socialization)
Do you crave authentic, in-person social activities? Are you tired of being glued to your phone to get your social fix? Junto Waukesha is a social club for young adults seeking new friends and social activities. The Junto is founded on the following assumptions: 1. Meaningful, in-person social interaction is critical to wellbeing: Recognizing the fundamental human need for social connections, the Junto prioritizes the significance of robust, in-person social bonds for overall wellbeing. 2. Young people are lonelier than ever: In response to the pervasive trend of young adult loneliness and diminishing close friendships, the Junto aims to provide a solution through fostering real-world social connections. 3. Virtual communication is cheap: Virtual communication and social media can never fully satisfy the need for genuine socialization on their own. Excessive reliance on devices isolate us from each other. While we acknowledge the utility of these tools when used properly, they can never replace in-person socialization. 4. There needs to be a "common ground" for socialization: This common ground should be easily accessible, meet regularly, and be free of political/religious/ideological bend. Cost should never be a barrier to entry; participation should be free or nearly free (never more than $10). Phones should never be used during a Junto meeting. There should be an emphasis on getting to know your fellow members as individuals and encouraging mutual improvement. This is a new group so I any input from members regarding ideas and activities is welcome!
