Just as a reminder, I will be collecting dues and donations for the Trachtenkulturzentrum in Holzhausen this weekend at the Delegates Meeting in Delaware. Anyone wanting information on the project and what it is about can go to the link on the Bayerische Trachtenverband’s website or talk to me this weekend or email me at m_olk@msn.com. There will also be information provided at the Delegates Meeting. This is a project that many Vereine and individuals in Gauverband Nordamerika have supported from the beginning.

Edelweiss Chicago is the first Gauverband member Verein to turn 100 years old. To commemorate this milestone, Gauverband Nordamerika has designed a beautiful pin. Although Edelweiss Chicago is not specifically referenced, the Edelweiss flowers on the side and the Tracht worn both point back to the Verein.

Bids for the 2016 Delegates Meeting will be reviewed and voted upon at this year's meeting. However, no one has yet submitted a bid. Please do so as soon as possible. Because 2016 is the 50th anniversary of Gauverband Nordamerika, it was decided at the last meeting that the weekend be extended one day. Thus it will consist of a Thursday Ausschuss meeting; Thursday arrival of Delegates; a Friday & Saturday Delegates Meeting; and a Saturday night banquet (separate ticket because it is expected that people not attending the meeting will also attend).
