Attached you will find the reports of the officers and committees of the Gauverband Nordamerika relevant to our upcoming Delegates’ Meeting to be held May 3 & 4, 2014, in Newark, Delaware.
If you are your Verein’s delegate, please take more than a moment to read through these reports, to better prepare you for the meeting. If you are not one of the meeting attendees, please, also take the time to read through the reports and arm your delegates with any questions you would like to have answered at the meeting.
You will notice that two officers have stated they will not stand for re-election at this meeting. This provides a wonderful chance for any of you that have ever thought about becoming a member of the Gauausschuß, to more fully explore that opportunity. I encourage and support you in that endeavor.
You will also notice the absence of the 1.Gauvorstand’s report. I use my report as the opening speech for the weekend meeting, and don’t want to spoil here, the excitement of hearing it first hand for the delegates in attendance.
I look forward to seeing many of you in Delaware!
Tom Vogt, 1. Gauvorstand
