I would like to announce the appointment of Michael Fricker to the Gauverband's Nominations Committee. Michael is a member of the United German Hungarians of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as well as the Enzian Volkstanzgruppe of Newark, Delaware.
Michael will replace Robert Eppinger of GTV Almenrausch, Pennsylvania, who has asked to be relieved of his duties due to personal health reasons. The Gauverband thanks Robert for his support and service to the organization over the past several years.
Michael joins Steff Troxell of HTV Edelweiss, Chicago, Illinois, and Sean Force of Enzian Schuhplattler, Seattle, Washington, in making up the complete Nominations Committee. The committee's focus is to collect all nominations and to compile a slate for the upcoming elections at our biennial Delegates Meeting. They also run the elections portion of that meeting, which is coming up at the end of April 2022. Please join me in supporting Michael in his upcoming duties to the Gauverband Nordamerika.
