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).

Below are the preliminary items for the 2014 Delegates Meeting. A final copy will be emailed to the Vereine and posted on the website at the end of the month. Additional agenda items not requiring a Bylaws change can still be included. I have not received any bids for the 2016 Delegates Meeting and would appreciate receiving them as soon as they can be available. Officer reports will be available two weeks before the Delegates Meeting on this website.

As the youth of our Vereine grow into teenagers and then adults, there seems to be a growing demand for them to complete a mandatory amount of community service hours. Either as part of membership in school organizations such as the National Honor Society or religious sacraments such a Confirmation, our youth need these community service hours in order to fulfill their requirements.
