| Connecting German-Speaking People of the USA (and those of Canada who like to be linked with a good cause) |

| Friends of GIOS: For over ten years this website has attempted to keep up to date with all things German here in the USA. Unfortunately, my fellow Germans were not of much help keeping the webmasters informed about opportunities that might be of interest to those seeking German things. The time has come for us to change and re- work our website. We will continue some of the features we have enjoyed over the years, but we will be more selective - we just can't cover the map - so we'll focus on the things we have enjoyed. Your recommendations will still be graciously received for dining places, special programs, heritage places to visit, etc. But we will also share some Family stuff and some personal interest things. And you are always welcome to contribute your own stories to help make this website a "nice place to visit." Welcome to our website! ------------------------------------------------- Valley View Christian Fellowship and the German Church of Tacoma invite you to check out their website: www.ValleyViewChristianFellowship.com --------------------------------------------------------- |
