Rotary Club celebrates New Year: An evening full of happiness and community!

Wasserstraße 68, 18439 Stralsund, Deutschland - On January 11, 2025, the New Year's reception of the Prenzlauer Rotary Club took place in the Hotel Uckermark. Prof. Dr. Hans-Robert Metelmann, Governor of the Rotary District 1940, held the address in front of a large number of those present, including redaries from Prenzlau and the surrounding area, partners, representatives of the club in Koszalin and guests from the Lions Club.

President Robert Wesenberg and Wolfgang Berlage reviewed the past year and Metelmann spoke about the different types of happiness and their symbols, including the four-leaf clover, the lucky pig and the Rotary Rad. The club supports numerous projects, such as the Kidscamp, and together with the Lions Club, the Rotarians collected a sum of 27,000 euros through the sale of raffle and mulled wine on the Christmas market. The funds collected are to be handed over to selected clubs in January.
