Some of the events organized by the Club are borrowed from German traditions and are adapted to the American lifestyle, such as an international Mardi Gras, Easter Egg Hunt, May Dance, Solstice Celebration in collaboration with a German Club in North Carolina, an International Soccer Tournament, "Nikolausfeier" (where Santa Claus pays a visit to the children) and a "Stammtisch", a monthly get-together of members and those interested in meeting and interacting with Germans.
