New Nominations Procedure for Delegates Meeting 2020

Grüß Gott, Trachtler and Trachtlerinnen!

During the 2018 Delegates Meeting, the Nominations Committee introduced changes to the Nominations and Election process for the Gauverband. A nomination form was introduced on which candidates could introduce themselves to the Gauverband and describe the qualities that would make them a good candidate for the Gauausschuß position they were seeking.

The trip to the Passion Play in Oberammergau is scheduled for Thursday, June 18, 2020.  Two Category 1 tickets (great seats!) have become available due to a cancellation.  If you are interested, please contact me at Gauzeitung@yahoo.com or 734-479-4025 for more information.  Price is $233/each.   --Karin Dean-Kraft
