The Gauausschuss held its annual meeting via Zoom on March 6, 2021. The minutes of that meeting, along with all the reports from members and committees, are available online to be viewed or downloaded at THIS LINK.  You can also get to the minutes by going to About Us/Reports-Minutes.  

Calling all named Josef, Joseph, Sepp, Seppi, Seppl, Jupp, Jodl, Bepp, Beppi, Bepperl, Peppal, Peppi, Joschi, Joschka, Joe, Joey, Josefa, Josefine, or Finni!  Today is your name day -- March 19, the Feast day of St. Joseph.

What have you been doing to keep the bonds of friendship and camaraderie strong in your Verein?  What special occasions are worthy of a little blurb in the Gauzeitung -- weddings, births, major anniversaries and birthdays, retirements?  How about a picture or two from a past event that would be fun for others to see?  Even with no recent events to write about, there's still plenty of ways we can share our love of dance and heritage.
