Successful Charity Rallye

Successful Charity Rallye![]() We started with almost 50 historic and special automobiles on our first Charity Rallye after the pandemic. After the prelude and the briefing of the drivers in Harmannsdorf, we went on a wonderful route of about 170 km into the foothills of the Alps. Despite threatening clouds, the weather remained kind to us. Three stages were completed, with stops at Café Pauli and Gut Ising. Thereby the conversations among the guests as well as the shop talk did not come too briefly. The last stage ended with the award ceremony and a big applause for the organizing team at Gut Sonnenhausen. We thank all guests, because they made it possible to make another substantial contribution to the joint Ukraine project of the Munich Rotary Clubs.

Rotarian excursion to Lake Orta (lago d'Orta)
To strengthen ties to our partner club in Milano and to escape vanity and massive rainfall at home an (almost) mighty dozen of fellow rotarians crossed the Alpes in diverse routes. When in Milan, these humble ambassadors were succinctly guided through the Ambrosian library (being strongly impressed, e.g., by scripts such as an illustration of the Iliad fifteen-hundred years old, dozens of Leonardo's drawings and his portrait of a musician) and well-received, with the first course of the dinner being served about entering the club restaurant (Hilton Tucherpark be aware!) so that all had the stamina to listen to the welcome talks and a lecture of one of our Italian friends sparing us only one or two little details of the 19th world exhibition in Milan.
The next day in the morning was left to human allotria or high culture (e.g. Leonardo's last supper: the preregistration rules give you a high probability to receive a return ticket. - go there before your own l.s.!) and in the afternoon for a wonderful reception and meal in Sacro Monte near San Julia d'Orta. The park struck one as the gral, the Arcadia, the German Weimar cultural classical heroes were longing for. A short walk (downhill) helped to explore this wonderful spot where friend Peter Schulz von Siemens generously invited everyone to his own arcadia on a small island. In short, a highly enriching excursion, only shortly interrupted by a rainy thunderstorm our best friend for months now. |

Thank you very much to all my supporters! YiR, Daniele Schiuma |
