Gauverband Nordamerika

Here's a message from our 2022 Gaufest Host, Edelweiss Passaic:

Gaufest hotel room reservations now open on Saturday August 14, 2021!

The Verein hosting the 2022 Preisplattln um den bayerischen Löwen has confirmed that they are moving ahead with plans and that we will be receiving a formal invitation.

The dates and venue are:

Trachtenverein Almrösl in Hohenschäftlarn from the Loisachgau.

The Preisplatteln will occur on Thursday May 26^th (it’s a holiday in Germany so everyone is off work).

Die Gemütlichen Schuhplattler of Anaheim, California, will celebrate its 50. Stiftungsfest on September 25, 2021, at the Phoenix Club. And we're all invited! More details are forthcoming as plans get into full gear. For now -- save the date, start making your own plans to attend! See the beautiful flyer below.  Or click on THIS LINK to download the invitation and registration information.

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.
