American-Austrian Society's Annual Meeting
May 3, 2003 at the Embassy of Austria, Washington, DC

The meeting began with a moment of silence in honor of President Anna Stout, who did not live to complete her term this year. The meeting then provided time for board members and others to present reports on the events of the American-Austrian Society in 2002-03. Vice President Mr. Johannes Willenpart presided. The election of officers was presided over by former President Professor Dr. Alfred Obernberger. Incoming President Johannes Willenpart presided over lively discussion of new business. Acting on behalf of the Executive Committee of the American-Austrian Society, he then bestowed the title of Honorary President of the American-Austrian Society on Professor Dr. Alfred Obernberger. Austrian wines provided by Winemaker Anton Bauer were enjoyed by those present, along with cheeses and fruit. Photos by Gerda Merwald.
