Gauverband Nordamerika

The 29. Gaufest will take place July 13-16, 2023, hosted by STV Bavaria Cleveland. Room reservations at the Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, Ohio, are now open as of August 1! Emails and letters were sent out to all the Vereine. You can make reservations at the Reservation link:  https://book.passkey.com/e/50354153.  You can also call the hotel directly at 1-877-525-2427 and let them know you're with the 29. Gaufest.  

Aug. 4 Update:  Links to videos are now included under the Dance tab on the Gauverband website.           At the 2022 Gaufest, Donald LaCourse of SG Edelweiss St. Paul, taught a workshop consisting of three Volkstänze. The workshop was based on the dances choreographed by Ingeborg Heinrichsen. She developed more than 40 dances to old and new folk music pieces.

The deadline for the August issue of the Gauzeitung is August 10.  Send your articles and photos to Gauzeitung@yahoo.com.  This issue will cover the Gauverband & Verein events that have happened from March - July, including the Gaufest.  It should be a terrific issue with lots of wonderful pictures.

High School and Post Secondary Graduation time of year!

Are you attending the “Down the Shore” Gaufest?

I have been busy with the Edelweiss Passaic Hosts in planning several activities for the Jugend and the Jugend leaders who will be attending the Gaufest.

If you are checking in to the Gaufest on Thursday (or before) and you plan to visit the Biergarten, but you do not know where your “under 21 years olds” can go? We will have a place for them in the “Kinderzimmer”.  It will be a great place for them to come and meet others as the weekend gets started!
