It is an eclectic group, prone to strong opinions, much humor and a lack of conclusions. Not that individual conclusions are absent.

While there is little formal structure, other than the time of day and the day of the week for our Stammtisch, a majority of twelve participants is the chosen number even though at present we are thirteen. This is our most cherished understood rule.And not without a waiting list so to speak.

On occasion we have speakers on subjects of contemporary interest. They have ranged from national experts on Middle Eastern affairs to civic politicians to international trade and to major league sports hierarchy.

Thin skin is soon thickened.

Thank you Bob Rogers for your real Stammtisch illumination.

While a Stammtisch may not be for everyone, it is for anyone.
