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.
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.

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.

We are happy that our friends from our partner club RC Milan-International-Net together with a member from RC Pistoia Montecatini Terme visited us to foster our fellowship. Munich's love of Italy goes back to the Wittelsbachs' enthusiasm for Italian Renaissance art and culture. Visible for example at the tower of Munichs “Alten Hof” where you can find the Milan coat of arms. Much more sophisticated we immersed into the Italian influence in Munich's history and architecture with the help of Bettina Lerchenmüller (very much recommended by us). After an aperitif at the Café Armani experiencing modern Italian lifestyle we finished the day traditionally in Bavarian style at the Spartenhaus.
We are grateful to our participants of our Charity Classic Rallye for a substantial donation for our Orlandus Lassus Foundation. With the weather always a bit on the edge we shared a wonderful tour southeast of Munich. After resting on the Auerberg and enjoying the best cake ever at the Farmers Museum at Reinthal we finished at the “Deutsches Museum Verkehrszentrum”. Thank you to the leadership team of the museum for guiding us so interesting though several aspects of mobility in their house. Finaly, we celebrated the awards at the “Wirtshaus am Bavariapark”. Members can see the photo library here.
We are grateful to Dr. Andrea Lissoni, Artistic Director of the Museum for Contemporary Art (Haus der Kunst) for taking the time to show us around. In particular he was explaining the interesting development and the concept behind the work of the house and its dedication to the exploration of the diverse histories of contemporary art based on a foundation of focused exhibitions, performance and music events, and education.
Our president Bortolo Venturelli perfectly planed, prepared and conducted a journey to Lake Garda with a wonderful and rich programe. With 35 friends we shared cheerful three days, and we thank Bortolo for the hard preparation work, keeping us all together and make this journey an unforgettable time and fellowship. Members can see the pictures and details here.
