Gauverband Announcement

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!

Our "Gau-Fotograf" Stephen Hargreaves has done it again!  Taken tens of thousands of photos of the Gaufest, edited them down to the top 1000, and provided us with the links to his albums.  The photos can be viewed online, downloaded, or printed.  Vergelt's Gott, Stephen, for capturing the spirit and joy of our Trachtler and Trachtlerinnen!

The August issue will have lots of Gaufest news as well as several spring events that happened.  Get your news and photos in to Gauzeitung@yahoo.com by August 1 to be part of it!

Congratulations to all the competitors in this year's Gauverband Nordamerika Preisplatteln at the 27. Gaufest in Washington, D.C.  The top results in each category are:
