Every year, numerous members of our Rotary Club prepare this auction for you with great dedication and enthusiasm, supported by our friends from Rotaract.
We are very grateful that we were able to achieve another record result with this 17th auction (after 2019). This enables us to fulfil our promise to provide special support for the planned social projects.
We owe this to you, the successful bidders and our guests. Thank you very much for your support!

Phantastic Charity Hike

With stunning weather and perfect conditions, we started our traditional charity hike from the Olympic Stadium in Partenkirchen on October 3rd. We hiked through and around the Partnachklamm and every step filles the donation account. We walked and talked among friends in different combination during the day. It was a wonderful day and we are grateful to Steven and Dirk for organizing it. Members can watch the pictures we made here (login required).

Thank you!│ Substantial donation for the KidsCamp
 

We are so grateful to the participants of our Charity Classic Rallye for a substantial donation for the Rotarian KidsCamp initiative. KidsCamp, mainly driven by Rotaract, gives underprivileged kids a break from their daily routine in difficult circumstances. With the sun on a blue sky, we followed the scenic route all the way down to the Sylvensteinsee at the Austrian border. We managed the old racetrack at Wallberg, relaxed at Gut Kaltenbrunn and finally celebrated the winners at Herrmannsdorfer Landwerkstätten.  Members can see all photo here. Thank you Aston Martin for your generous support.

Rotaract│Ice bathing at 5°C Water Temperature

Congratulation to Lena David (right) and Rotaract München-Residenz for organizing this special event on Sunday Dec. 8th, ice-bathing at 5°C water temperature at Lake Wessling, close to Munich. For every second in the water 20 Cent will be donated to the Munich Orphan Home. 140 brave Rotaracters, Rotarians, family members, friend and guests jump into the cold water for the good cause and for the final result of 15.000 €.

Niklas Schüler (left) from münchen.tv covered the event. See his report here. The brave reporter involved himself managed 11 min in the water, good job! But, our president managed more than 20 min. 💪 and got standing ovations at our club meeting. We are proud of you Sepita 👏. Sorry Niklas 😉. Thank you for competing with us for the good cause.

Good Bye Hilton Park

It was an emotional evening on Dec. 9th, 2024, at the Hilton Park in “our” Tivoli-Pavilion celebrating the last meeting there. For more than 22 years this was the home of our club. Now the Hilton Park will close and start a renovation procedure for the next couple of years.

We are grateful to the management of Hilton Park, especially Andreas Etscheid, for always finding a solution and keep us in our beloved Tivoli-Pavilion. Yes, we also had some tough discussions. But summing up the 22 years we are emotional because they were good years.

There was a big round of applause for the service staff around Karim and Asencio. They have not only looked after us professionally over the years, but also very personally and welcoming.

First Meeting of the New Rotarian Year 2024/25

With this first presentation of the new Rotarian year we are continuing our coverage of AI in different aspects of life. Katharina Form, Strategy Business Development at FLAYR (a creative content agency located in Munich and Zurich) and Andreas Fuss, founder and managing director of FLAYR, talked about AI as a friend, opportunity, and accelerator in advertising. They presented successful and critical use cases of AI. This leads to the conclusion that you always need a human with a good creative sense and expertise in the loop in order to curate what AI offers you, but the development has a breathtaking speed. One of the highlights at the end of the lecture was the presentation of a Rotary song that was created by an artificial intelligence during our meeting with the keywords provided by our members.
