What says Happy New Year better than Cowbells?

Happy New Year, Allgäu-style!  The Allgäuer Gauverband has a fairly new tradition of ringing in the new year with cow bells, rather than shooting off fireworks.  It was a fun project started by their 1.Gauvorplattler Christoph Zweng.  They call it Allgäu Schealat. This year a few of our Gau-NA Vereine joined in (see this video link).  We hope that next year we'll have even more participation. Thanks to all that contributed.

2022 Preisplatteln Rules Available Online

We know that many Vereine are already beginning to prepare for the Preisplatteln at the 2023 Gaufest at the Kalahari and want to see the latest Preisplatteln Rules. The Preisplatteln Rules have been updated to include all the rule changes approved at the 2022 Delegates Meeting. The rules can be seen at THIS LINK or you can access them from the website home page under About Us/Bylaws. You can download them, view them online, or print them (26 pages). Questions can be directed to the Bylaws Committee (Karin Schwab, Paul Ulrich, or Karin Dean Kraft) or to any of the dance officers. 

Note that the Bylaws, Operating Rules, and Guidelines are still being worked on but will be available online within the next two weeks.

Remembering John Schaefer

We are saddened to hear that John Schaefer, former 1.Vorstand of Gauverband Nordamerika, passed away on November 21, 2022.  John was elected as a Beisitzer at the Delegates Meeting in Denver in 1969.  He served in that role until he was elected to the position of 2.Vorstand in Milwaukee in January 1974.  John then served the Gauverband in this capacity until he was elected as our 1.Vorstand in Anaheim 2002.

28. Gaufest Survey Results are In!

Thank you to everyone who took part in the 28. Gaufest Survey over the past three months.  We once again had great participation with over 230 responses. The LINKED FILE contains a summary of all the responses.  The purpose of the survey is to provide the Meetings Committee as well as future Gaufest hosts valuable feedback that can help with the planning of future Gaufeste and ways to improve the event.
