Bids for the 2016 Delegates Meeting will be reviewed and voted upon at this year's meeting. However, no one has yet submitted a bid. Please do so as soon as possible. Because 2016 is the 50th anniversary of Gauverband Nordamerika, it was decided at the last meeting that the weekend be extended one day. Thus it will consist of a Thursday Ausschuss meeting; Thursday arrival of Delegates; a Friday & Saturday Delegates Meeting; and a Saturday night banquet (separate ticket because it is expected that people not attending the meeting will also attend). The bid will include the meeting itself and the banquet evening. Thursday'sand an additional Saturday night. Bid information for the meeting is available on the website under "Publications/How To Manuals." For questions and more detail on how to bid on the Saturday night banquet, please contact Joe Hubner at sjhubner @ verizon.net.
