Submitted 6Nov2007. "2011 a Destination Gaufest" hosted by Gemuetlichen Enzianer, NY at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine, TX
On October 19th, the membership of Gemuetlichen Enzianer voted unanimously to submit an official bid for the 2011 Gaufest utilizing the Gaylord Texan Resort and Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas (www.gaylordtexan.com).
We feel that by going outside of our home state, we were able to find the ideal venue for a traditional, family oriented and affordable Gaufest that could be held in a single and spectacular location. Gemuetlichen Enzianer also feels that Texas would be an exciting destination for the members of the Gauverband. We have been quoted a rate of $149 per room at the Gaylord Texan in 2011. The Gaylord Texan is located within a 6 minute shuttle ride from the Dallas / Fort Worth Airport, boasts over 1,500 hotel rooms and has banquet space for 3,300. All facilities are climate controlled, including a 5 acre central "outdoor" atrium.
Our web site (www.gemenzianer.com) will be updated with all the exciting Gaufest information as it becomes available. Please send us your email address, questions or comments to gau2011@gemenzianer.com and we will add you to our distribution list for further email updates.
We look forward to seeing everyone at the Delegates meeting in Minneapolis in May 2008.
Mit Bayerischem Gruss, Richard W. Killian, Gemuetlichen Enzianer
