Greetings from our President



Dear fellow German Teachers,

During our last meeting held in Cool Springs at TFLTA in November, a new set of chapter officers was elected. Maria Gallmeier of UTK is our New Vice President and as your new Chapter President, I would like to wish you all a successful 2013.

With several long standing members having retired in recent years, it will be one of my goals to increase membership as well as to increase the usefulness of our chapter  as a resource to its members. To that end I would like to encourage you to create opportunities in your district or region to meet personally with other German colleagues. We all know how lonely it can be being your own vertical team. Over the years, I have been able to meet several new German teachers in my area, by swapping ideas, materials and pastries at Joan MacDonald's house before each new school year. Please encourage these colleagues to join or renew their membership with AATG, also recently under new leadership.

If you have ideas, concerns or questions regarding the teaching of German in Tennessee, then please feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you in the coming months.

                               Mit freundlichen Gruessen
                                Kurstin Bush
                                Chapter President TN - AATG
