Gauverband Announcement

A survey from the Communication/Education Committee has been sent to each Verein asking for specific information on how you and your members purchase Tracht. It is our hope to use this data to learn from one another and help each other grow. The survey was sent to the email address provided by each Verein. If you did not receive it or have any questions, please contact Christine Ott at klottanz@gmail.com. Thank you in advance for your participation!

Gauverband Nordamerika has a new Gau Webmaster.  Fritz Sheffler has been appointed by 1.Gauvorstand, Tom Vogt.  Fritz is a member of  B.H.T.V. "Golden Gate" in San Francisco, CA.  He was elected Gaubeisitzer at the Delegates Meeting in May 2016.  He is an enthusiastic Trachtler.  Fritz is also very creative and artistic so I think he will do very well with the website.  Congratulations Fritz!

The next deadline for the Gauzeitung is February 1. What's going on in your Verein: upcoming events in the April-August time period? Articles about an event that happened in 2016? Gauzeitung readers what to hear your news. Send your articles and photos to me at Gauzeitung@yahoo.com. 

The Jugend (Youth) page has more info on it than ever before! Gaujugendvertreterin Diane Meck is working on finding more resources for the Gauverband's young people. Take a look by clicking on Resources/ Jugend from the tool bar or click here. The page will be updated as often as new material becomes available. 

Update Dec. 30, 2016:  The Scoresheets for Preisplatteln and Jugend Critique have been added to the Gau Rules!

You just never know where the Gauverband Nordamerika will be mentioned! This year's Gauzeitung Christmas Greetings included a funny little Christmas poem written in "Denglisch" -- that great language so many of our loved ones speak. The Gauzeitung made its way to Anton Hötzelsperger, Pressewart for the Bayerischer Trachtenverband. Toni got a kick out of the poem and sent it on to his media email distribution list, which included radio station Bayernwelle. The BW liked it, too, and was interested in Gau-NA, so they called Toni, who did a radio interview.
