Gauverband Nordamerika

Although it is only April, it is time to seek volunteers for the Gaufest in Buffalo in July. I am hoping to see Jugend (little and bigger) participating in the various offerings that will be at the Gaufest. However, in order to make this all successful, I will need help. Here is what I am seeking:

Jugend Einzelplattln Competition:

• Judges (adults)
• Critiquers (adults)
• Helpers with paperwork (16 years old and older) (Community Service hours available)

Workshops:

The minutes of the Gau-Ausschussversammlung held in March 2017 are now available online.  Here's the link to go there directly:  2017 Ausschuss Minutes.  You can read the minutes online, download the file to your own computer, or print it (all 83 pages!).  Or go to About Us/Reports -- there you will find minutes to Delegates Meetings and Ausschuss Meetings from 2008-2017. 

As you've already heard, Gau-NA will be assisted by D'Wageggler Börwang to host the 2018 Bayerischer Löwe on June 2, 2018, in Haldenwang in the Allgäu. Just ahead of the competition day is a Fronleichnam celebration on May 31 and the Allgäuer Gaufest will take place on June 3.  It'll be a full and exciting weekend.  For the Löwe day, we'll need 27 people to help with registration, organize dance circles, run scoresheets, judge, and tabulate the scores.  The link below takes you to the first of many updates about the events.

Please read the letter below issued by our Gaufest host Verein, SGTV Edelweiss Buffalo, about Ehrentänze. Note that Ehrentanz forms are due by May 1.

Gaujugendvertreterin Diane Meck has put together a terrific opportunity for the Gauverband's youth who will be in 7th-12th grade in the 2017-18 school year.
