Most of our Vereine did not have much of a chance to see one another this year. Send Christmas greetings to your fellow Vereine 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.
