Gauverband Nordamerika

The Lechgau-Verband sent an invitation to 1.Vorstand Tom Vogt and Gau-NA to the 94. Lechgautrachtenfest in Reichling on July 14-16, 2017.  There's a Tanz-Abend with terrific bands, a Heimatabend with performances from all over the Lechgau, and the Festsonntag with parade. If you'll be in Bayern, it'll be a wonderful weekend. Take a look at the invitation:  Link to Invitation

A survey from the Communication/Education Committee has been sent to each Verein asking for specific information on how you and your members purchase Tracht. It is our hope to use this data to learn from one another and help each other grow. The survey was sent to the email address provided by each Verein. If you did not receive it or have any questions, please contact Christine Ott at klottanz@gmail.com. Thank you in advance for your participation!

Gauverband Nordamerika has a new Gau Webmaster.  Fritz Sheffler has been appointed by 1.Gauvorstand, Tom Vogt.  Fritz is a member of  B.H.T.V. "Golden Gate" in San Francisco, CA.  He was elected Gaubeisitzer at the Delegates Meeting in May 2016.  He is an enthusiastic Trachtler.  Fritz is also very creative and artistic so I think he will do very well with the website.  Congratulations Fritz!

The next deadline for the Gauzeitung is February 1. What's going on in your Verein: upcoming events in the April-August time period? Articles about an event that happened in 2016? Gauzeitung readers what to hear your news. Send your articles and photos to me at Gauzeitung@yahoo.com.
