Dear Vereine, 

Please encourage your eligible Jugend / students to apply for the Paul Ulrich Sr. Scholarship.  This is not only for current HS seniors, but for all students who will be in post secondary education for the next school year.

This scholarship has been in place since 2016 and has awarded many of our younger Trachtlers THOUSANDS of dollars.  It is well worth their time to complete the application. The completed application must be received by December 31.

For the last few years Gauverband Nordamerika has joined the Allgäuer Gauverband in the tradition of ringing in the new year with cow bells (rather than shooting off fireworks).  It was a project started by their 1er Gauvorplattler Christoph Zweng.  They call it Allgäu Schealat.  For the last two years we put together a video that we shared with them.  A link to last year’s video is below.

Many thanks to Peter Backhaus of SGTV Alpenblumen, Rhode Island, for creating a directory to the Vereine's social media sites! The file is arranged by country, then province/state. It includes links to website, Facebook page, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok pages. As links become known, Peter will update the file so that it is always as current as possible. To that end, there's a link to a form in the upper left that you can use to let Peter know about changes.
