VdK Schwandorf celebrates members: focus on social strength and commitment!

In the clubhouse of the Eichhornschützen, the membership ceremony of the VdK local association Schwandorf was celebrated on Saturday. The provisional chairman Karin Schindler, Mayor Andreas Feller (CSU) and the deputy district chairman Engelbert Ehbauer were present and appreciated the impressive number of members of currently 2798, which was achieved thanks to strong growth. Schindler emphasized the high priority of the VDK in social work and the well -trained staff who distinguishes the association.

The event also offered an insight into the regular activities of the VdK, including the senior afternoons in the Gasthof Baier and the senior dance in the Filchner inn, both of whom take place every month. In addition, members in senior citizens' homes are visited on special occasions, which underlines the connection of the association to the community.

VdK as an indispensable partner

Mayor Feller emphasized the importance of the VdK as an important contact in social issues and praised the services of the association, which is committed to the rights of its members, especially in pension matters. Ehbauer reported on a membership growth and emphasized that the VdK in Bavaria has over 830,000 members, with 13,115 in the Schwandorf district association. The association plays a crucial role in social legal advice and fights for good care in the event of illness and need for care as well as for inclusion and accessibility.

The award of long -standing members was another highlight of the event. Numerous people were awarded for 25 years of membership, while loyal members were also honored for 30, 40 and 50 years. These honors were recognized with certificates, pins and other gifts.

The impressive work is shown in the numbers of the VDK: In 2023, 450 applications were submitted, 150 contradictions were initiated and 45 complaints were processed, which led to additional payments of 120 million euros. For 2024, 9512 consultations and 1850 applications have already been recorded, with a previous additional payment of 1.9 million euros. The VdK therefore remains an indispensable part of social life in Schwandorf.
