Gauverband Nordamerika

Schafkopf is a popular card game in Bavaria and in Gau-NA. The game has been taught at many Delegates Meetings workshops, and a tournament is held at every Gaufest. Instructions on how to play the game were set by a Bavarian Schafkopf Congress in Munich. The instructions, originally in German, were translated by Tom Vogt.

Here it is the end of 2020 and most Vereine are still not meeting, so a lot of subscribers are not getting their Gauzeitung. Who would have imagined this back in March? To help cheer us all up and keep the camaraderie among us, the Gauzeitung is available online again this issue.

That's right -- 2022! The Gaufest hosted by Edelweiss Passaic has been rescheduled to July 7-10, 2022.  This unusual step was approved by the delegates who attended the (first ever!) Special Delegates Meeting on Sunday, November 15. Be sure to save the new date!

If you are the delegate from your Verein for Sunday, Nov. 15's Special Delegates Meeting -- be sure to check your email!  If you are on the Gau-NA's Ausschuss -- check your email.  If you did not get an email regarding the meeting, please contact either Paul Ulrich or Bob Hugel as soon as possible.  Important information regarding the meeting is in that email.

An email was sent today to all Gauverband Vereine regarding an upcoming Special Delegates Meeting to discuss the 28. Gaufest.  Please check your emails as soon as possible.
