SUPPORT THE 2020 WINTER BALL KARNEVAL SILENT AUCTION

Remember the 60s?  The Beatles, Ray Charles, Woodstock, Jimmy Hendrix, bell-bottoms, long hair, free love (Liebe), and psychedelic rock Music (Musik) and Peace (Frieden)!

It’s the 60th anniversary of the St. Louis-Stuttgart Sister Cities and we are celebrating our Winter Ball Karneval on February 15, 2020 at Sheraton Westport Plaza Hotel with a groovy 60s theme.
