Some 230 members and guests of Grundsau Lodge 18 met in the Emerald Fire Company banquet hall, March 10 to celebrate their Pennsylvania German heritage. Many of the participants conversed in the Pennsylvania Dutch dialect which originated in the Palatinate (Southwestern) region of Germany.

Led by Haaptmann (president) Roy Dengler, the large assembly enjoyed a Pennsylvania Dutch dinner including pork and sauerkraut, mashed potato filling, sausage, bread and butter.
