Remembering Carolyn Marquardt - update 5/27

The Gauverband Nordamerika is deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Carolyn Marquardt, Ehrengaubeisitzer, on Tuesday, May 23, 2017. Carolyn was first appointed to the position of Gaubeisitzer in 1996 by 1. Gauvorstand, Walter Wieand. She was re-elected to the Gauausschuss in that capacity until 2016. She also held the position of Gau-Webmaster during her tenure on the Board. She was named an Ehrengaubeisitzer at the 2017 Executive Board Meeting.

Gaufest in 2021 -- How About on the West Coast?

Die Gemütlichen Schuhplattler of Anaheim, California, are beginning to investigate being the host for the 28. Gaufest in 2021! To that end, they’d like feedback from INDIVIDUAL Verein members as well as the Vereine themselves to gauge interest in three possible locations: Anaheim, San Diego, and Las Vegas. Open to any individual who typically attends a Gaufest, the survey is totally anonymous and asks only your personal site preference and what state/province you live in. You’re also able to leave a comment.
