We’re proud to announce that the Friends of Concordia Cemetery have been selected to receive this year’s Western New York German Cultural Award, recognizing our ongoing efforts to preserve and share the area’s German-American heritage. While we will receive the award in the organization category, historian and director of the Das Haus Museum Director Elaine Timm will also be honored in the individual category.
The award will be presented at Hofbräuhaus Buffalo on Wednesday, November 13, and the event will begin at 5:30 PM.
There are no tickets required — guests will simply order from the regular menu.
Concordia Cemetery President Todd Cowles and Volunteer Coordinator Chris Cavarello will be accepting the award on behalf of the Friends of Concordia Cemetery.
Come raise a glass and help us celebrate this well-deserved recognition of everyone’s hard work and dedication to Concordia!
