The German Club is excited to finally get to fulfill and carry out plans that they could not last year due to COVID -19. The sponsor, Mr. Hudson is planning their annual Grillfest on September 13 at the Newburgh Lock and Dam. Although they could not do much of anything last year, they are hopeful to keep doing events such as going to Gerst Haus in Evansville for a German meal, and Swonder more towards winter. They had their first meeting this week where they had about 50 members come join and they voted on the club t-shirt and introduced club officers. This year's club president is senior Meera Bhatia. She has been in the German Club since her freshman year. She took German her freshman year because it was a new and different concept than she had ever studied before and became very interested in it. She joined this club because she got to enjoy all the fun events while also being with her friends. “Herr. Hudson is a great teacher," said Bhatia. There are two vice presidents this year named Abby Hagan and Evan Bockelman. Hagan joined this club because she believes it is an interesting language, but she also loves to learn about the culture. Bockelman has taken German all four years of high school and for his senior year was excited to step into the leadership role and get to help plan the events he had always enjoyed. The treasurer of the club, Madelyn Jorgensen, loves being able to help out with the finances and background planning of the club. All of the club members, including junior Reagan Kelly, are ecstatic to see how this year plays out and they are glad to be a part of such an interesting club. “I had always wanted to take German and once I learned about this club and joined, I enjoyed taking the language so much more," said Kelly. "I loved being able to see how the culture and food we learn about in the classroom really is." Ashley Hudson
