Gauverband Announcement

A group of 50 Bavarians will be coming from Bayern to North America and will be attending the 24. Gaufest. Erech Morrison, Ehrenvorstand of GTEV Maple Leaf-Almrausch Ottawa and his Verein have been friends with members of the Heimat und Volkstrachtenverein Salzweg. Salzweg is near Passau in Niederbayern. The groups have paid each other visits several times over their twenty-year friendship. This year they will be accompanied by the Gau-Gruppe of the Oberer Lechgauverband.

The Minutes of the 2013 Gauauschussversammlung held in March are now available. Click on the link below or go to “About Us/ Reports” and open from the link there.

Volume 23 - Calendar Year 2011

The Gauverband is saddened by the loss of one of our Gau-Richter.
 

NEW!!!   Unfortunately, the exchange program will not be taking place in 2013 due to circumstances beyond our control.  Instead, it will be pushed to 2014.  Questions should be addressed to Michael Olk.

North America is celebrating 100 years of Trachtenvereine in 2014, and we will be commemorating this epic milestone with a custom designed pin to be available at the next Delegates Meeting.

Get your creative juices flowing and submit several designs for consideration. Remember this will be a custom die struck metal pin possibly with color fill; highly intricate designs and half tones may not produce well.

The contest will start October  1 and end on December 31, 2012, with a final decision at the next Ausschussversammlung (March 2013).
