Gauverband Announcement

Gauverband Nordamerika established the Paul Ulrich Sr. Scholarship Program, at the request of and support by the Ulrich Family and other contributions, to provide financial assistance through annual scholarship(s) to university, college, trade school, or independent study to students involved in the promotion of Bavarian and Tyrolean cultural heritage.

Wolfgang Gensberger has generously shared four presentations that the Trachtenkulturzentum in Holzhausen has published. Three are about Tracht, the fourth is an informational handout about the Förderverein. Links to each are shown below. All presentations are in German and have numerous great photos that help tell the story. The presentations can also be accessed under "Resources/Tracht" and "Resources/Holzhausen" from the top menu.

Gau-NA's Ehrenmitglied Sepp Kaindl has had a lot of press in Bavaria--and so have we! The articles written by Beate Bentele have been excellent. There are now five of them and they are all combined in one pdf.  Sepp also did two radio interviews which are in separate links.  Take a look and listen to all!  The upcoming September issue of the Gauzeitung has more photos and an article in it about Sepp.

Thank you for responding to the 26. Gaufest and Jugend surveys. Much important information was received and sent to the respective persons in the Gauverband Nordamerika for them to continually improve Gaufeste and Jugend activities. Your efforts are appreciated.

Here's another article by Beate Bentele in the Bavarian press about our Ehrenmitglied Sepp Kaindl. We're proud of our Trachtenkamerad Sepp and of the excellent press he and Gau-NA are getting in Bavaria.  Click here for the article.
