Gau-N.A. Participated in Gauting's Festwoche

Participating in the Bayerischer Löwe was certainly an exciting event for Gauverband Nordamerika. Another great part of that weekend was participating in the 265-year Jubilee of Vereine in Gauting – D’Würmlust Stamm Gauting Trachtenverein celebrated its 100th anniversary; the Feuerwehr (volunteer firefighters Verein) celebrated 140 years; and the Schöne Münchnerin society celebrated its 25th.  In a parade on Sunday that spanned about ½ a mile, 70 different Vereine took part, including about 60 people from Gauverband Nordamerika.
