Why I am an ÖAG member
I have been a member of the Austro-American Society for fifty years. As an American living in Salzburg, I have profited over the decades in numerous ways from my membership in the AAS. Numerous events I have attended have been not only interesting, educational, but also fun! Plus, through the Austro-American Society I have met some wonderful individuals who have become good friends.
Best wishes, Marty Gezek
Why I am an ÖAG member
I became acquainted with the society when I was asked to teach English courses there in the late 70s. The opportunity to exchange opinions and cultural traditions, as well as to eliminate false beliefs and prejudice, is positive for both countries. Our program allows Americans away from home to take part in such traditional annual events as Thanksgiving and the 4th of July celebration, while giving Austrians insight into and understanding of American culture and providing a basis to form inter-cultural friendships.
