The annual art auction is one of the highlights of the Rotarian year at RCMI. On Friday, November 10th, this year's auction took place and was a beaming success. € 74.100 were raised with an all-time record of € 9.000 for one object. The proceeds go to the Orlandus Lassus Foundation and Rotary 4 Hauner.

The outstanding result, the wonderful atmosphere of the event and the smooth process was due to the support of a great team of our fellow Rotarians, Rotaract, DLA Piper and related staff. We thank everyone very much for their contribution and look forward to the next auction in 2018!
