Gauverband Announcement

Die Gemuetlichen Schuhplattler of Anaheim, California, asked me to share this information regarding the Gau-NA Delegates Meeting they will be hosting on April 25-26, 2020, at the Phoenix Club:

The November 2019 Gauzeitung has a great article in it about the 15 ladies in Gau-NA who took a Mieder making class from Bavarian master seamstress Annamirl Raab.  The class was coordinated by Karin Schwab and Liz Hostetter and held the week before the Gaufest.  Many of the ladies were able to premiere their beautiful new Mieders at the Gaufest.  Everyone loved working with Annamirl -- she's been well known here for many years for her one-of-a-kind Mieders. Several Gau-NA ladies have travelled to Schliersee over the years to take lessons from Annamirl.  

Oktoberfest season is still going strong -- but it's time to take a minute to think about your Christmas greeting in the Gauzeitung!  Please let me know by Oct. 20 if you want an ad, then send me the ad by Oct. 31. You can send a pdf or jpg of a finished ad or words and pictures/graphics for me to finish the ad for you. Ads will be in color. 

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Gaufest Survey over the past two months.  We had great participation with over 280 responses.

It’s that time of year again.  We are accepting applications for the Paul Ulrich Sr. Scholarship.  (This post has also been emailed to all Gauverband Vereine.)

The Lechgaukapelle was a great treat for our Gaufest in Washington, D.C.  Twenty musicians plus some family and friends were in attendance.  Rosi Geiger, former Pressewart of the Lechgau, traveled along with them and has been busy reporting on the trip. One article appeared in the Merkur, the other in the most recent issue of the Heimat- und Trachtenbote. Both articles are so complimentary!
