Gauverband Announcement

Time for another issue of the Gauzeitung! Send your articles and pictures to Gauzeitung@yahoo.com. Tell your fellow Gau-NA members about the events that have started up again in your Vereine. It's been an exciting few months of getting back to regular activities. Plus the next few months have more events coming up to look forward to. The deadline is AUGUST 1.

The August issue of the Gauzeitung will feature our high school or college graduates since last year's issue. Whether you have a grad in the family or are a grad yourself, send the information to Gaujugendvertreterin Diane Meck (Gaujugend@gmail.com) by June 30. Include the following information: Name, Verein affiliation, school, degree, future plans. Send along a picture, too, and name the file with the name of the grad. Let's show off our young people!

Did you know that the Gauverband has a YouTube channel? There are currently six videos on the page. One is from a workshop held at a Delegates Meeting on how to grow your Verein through social media. The other five are workshops held at the 2019 Gaufest in Washington, D.C. Thank you, Alt-Washingtonia, for doing the videoing. The subjects are Goasslschnoizen, How to Conduct a Plattlerprobe, Volkstanz Workshop, Alphorns, and Fahnen Care. As more videos become available, they'll be included on the channel.

So many Vereine still aren't meeting and can't distribute the member subscriptions, so....  Here's the link to the May 2021 issue of the Gauzeitung.  CLICK FOR LINK   

The deadline for sending articles and photos for the next issue of the Gauzeitung is May 1.  What has your Verein and its members been up to? How do you keep in touch or get together? Send birthday or anniversary greetings to your members who are celebrating major milestones.  Share a memory of a member who has passed away.  Write up something about an event in your Verein's history -- about the founding and the founders, your Fahnenweihe, a big Jubiläum. Send your contributions to Gauzeitung@yahoo.com.   

The Gauausschuss held its annual meeting via Zoom on March 6, 2021. The minutes of that meeting, along with all the reports from members and committees, are available online to be viewed or downloaded at THIS LINK.  You can also get to the minutes by going to About Us/Reports-Minutes.
