Twenty-two people showed up in Casper last weekend (April 4-5) for another planning meeting to finalize details for the 2008 International Convention of Germans from Russia. The convention is scheduled for July 28-August 3 at the Parkway Plaza Hotel & Convention Center in Casper.
-
This will be a special meeting, since it is expected to bring together nearly 1,000 members of both the Germans from Russia Heritage Society and the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia. In most years, the groups -- headquartered in Bismarck, North Dakota and Lincoln, Nebraska, respectively -- meet separately.
-
Under the leadership of convention co-chairs Patti Sellenrick (AHSGR) and Al Feist (GRHS), the planning committee hammered out final details on the convention agenda. We are posting here a copy of the tentative Convention Program and registration form. You'll also find a few photographs from the April planning meeting, as well as snapshots from earlier planning sessions.

In coming days, posts to this site and the convention web site will provide additional information on programs and events at the convention.
-
Among the many activities at convention time are several tour opportunities. Here is a summary of tour information that will allow you to learn more about these exciting tours. These forms will also be included with registration materials being mailed to members of both societies.
