Our 18th charity art auction was once again a resounding success. Together with our young friends from Rotaract, we looked after our approximately 100 guests, who were in high spirits and engaged in some fierce bidding battles. The proceeds went to our Orlandus Lassus Foundation, through which we support young, highly talented students at the Munich University of Music and Performing Arts, and to the street newspaper BISS, which helps people facing social difficulties (Bürger in sozialen Schwierigkeiten) to help themselves. The auction was conducted eloquently and confidently by Dr. Rupert Keim, managing partner of KARL&FABER, who inspired our guests to achieve this outstanding result. A heartfelt thank you to all the bidders. We also would like to thank the entire Rotaract Munich-International team, represented by its President, Marco Beretta, for their perfectly organised, dedicated and professional support.

A heartfelt thank you to the participants in our charity rally for a wonderful day and the generous donations made to Lichtblick Seniorenhilfe e.V. In glorious weather, we kicked off with a tricky special exercise at Warngau Airfield. We made our way along roads that were at times just single-lane to the Beuerberg Golf Club, where an excellent lunch awaited us. The route then took us on to a short pit stop at the Hofcafé Golkofer and through the picturesque Mangfall Valley to the Herrmannsdorfer Landwerkstätten. There, we honoured the deserving winners and Lichtblick Seniorenhilfe told us about their project.
