27. Gaufest Planning Committee

How to Register
We are using the registration website that STV Bavaria Cleveland developed for the 24. Gaufest and was also used by S.G.T.V. Edelweiss Buffalo used for the 26. Gaufest. This website will handle all registration and ordering tasks.  Verein registrations will be coordinated by each Verein's administrator 



Payment Information

Please submit all check payments made out to:  Alt Washingtonia Gaufest 2019

and send to the following address:

Kristin Wells
18612 Colston Ct.
Leesburg, Virginia 20176


Verein Administrator
In order to begin, each Verein will need to identify 2 Administrators from each Gauverband NA Verein who will be able to register their membership, approve members who register on their own and collect and submit all payments.  To start, administrators will select the "Request Account" button (next to the Login button) and complete the Administrator registration. Upon receiving an email that their Administrator account has been created, they will now be ready to manage all of the Verein activities. While Individual Verein members can go to the website and enter their personal or family information, only the Verien Administrators can perform the tasks of registering for Fest Tickets, souvenirs, carnations etc. 


As you order (Fest Tickets, Souvenirs, etc.) the amount you owe will continue to total.  At the end, you will need to submit a form for each  type of order which will produce an "invoice" totaling your Verein's order up and where to send your payment.  In the Account Status area of the Administrator section will be a breakdown of your order, amount owed and when payments have been received and recorded.


Verein Members
Verein members should speak with their Verein Administrator to determine the process your Verein will use for registering, purchasing of tickets, carnations, souvenirs etc. and submitting payments.


Non-Verein affiliated individuals
If you are not affiliated with one of the Verein's in Gauverband Nordamerika, please review the instructions on the website and select 'Unaffiliated' in the Verein drop down on the website.
