In addition to the Embassy and eight Consulates General, there are also many honorary consuls in the U.S. ready to assist you with advise and counsel. Honorary consuls are called „honorary“ because they perform their work on an honorary basis and are not paid a fee for their services. Many of our honorary consuls are not German citizens; compared with the foreign missions, they have only limited consular authority and thus also only limited official means to provide assistance. For example, only some are able to accept passport applications from you, notarize signatures, or perform similar functions. Because they frequently practice their consular office alongside a main profession, it is not reasonable to expect that they are always present or available by phone. If there is an honorary consul at your vacation site and you require assistance, you should nevertheless initially contact them because they best knows the local situation. Honorary consuls will, if necessary, refer you further to the competent German foreign mission if they themselves cannot assist.
The German-American Society of Tulsa (GAST or GASTulsa for short) was informally founded in 1979 when a group of native-born Germans decided to host the first-ever Oktoberfest in Tulsa. The success of the event lead to the group continuing informal organization activities until January1980 when GAST was officially formed as a social organization. In 1981 the German-American Society Arts Association (GASAA) was formed as a not for profit charitable organization. The addition of the association brought about more growth and activity at GAST. Together the two entities comprise the German-American Society of Tulsa as it is known today.
German-American Society of Tulsa's mission is to promote and preserve the German language, culture, traditions, and customs through educational, social activities, and events for the enrichment of our members and the community.
