Inscription. German Village has always relied on the support of volunteers, and one of the most important volunteer groups has been the German Village Garten Club. Its work is most visible in the maintenance and plantings of Frank Fetch Park and the planters along Third Street.

Other volunteers make the annual Haus und Garten Tour successful, staff the Meeting Haus' Visitors Center, and spend thousands of hours each year keeping German Village a vibrant community.
