Planning for a Gaufest starts at least three years ahead of time! At this year's Delegates Meeting in May, the site of the 2019 Gaufest will be selected. Bids for the Gaufest are due by January 30, and so far, nothing official has been received. If your Verein will be bidding or is interested in bidding, contact Meetings Committee Chairman Joe Hubner (sjhubner@verizon.net). The deadline can be extended accordingly. Don't be shy! After all, what would an "odd" year be without a Gaufest to celebrate?
