70 years of loyalty: DRK Heckendalheim celebrates extraordinary anniversaries!
A memorable celebration recently took place in tranquil Heckendalheim, honoring the outstanding achievements of long-standing members of the German Red Cross (DRK). The event, which took place in the cozy “Dorfkrug” hotel restaurant, was marked by honors and warm words of thanks. District preparedness manager Matthias Gaa and district manager Frederic Klein were visibly impressed by the number of anniversaries, especially Albin Walle, who was honored for an impressive 70 years of loyalty to the DRK.
Overall, the celebrants were able to look back on an impressive 495 years if you add up the anniversaries of all honored members. This number illustrates the deep connection and commitment that the members have shown for the DRK and the village community over decades. In addition to Walle, three members were also honored for 55 years, which also provided a festive setting.
Special honors and celebratory atmosphere
Die Ehrungen wurden nach der Anzahl der Dienstjahre gestaffelt und begannen mit „jungen“ Jubilaren, wie Bastian Berresheim und Dominik Seidel, die jeweils 20 Jahre Zugehörigkeit vorweisen können. Sandra Brand, Ute Pelletier, Volker Walle and Dirk Blaumeiser were honored for 40 years. Besonders hervorzuheben bleibt Egon Blaumeiser, der für 60 Jahre treuen Dienst ausgezeichnet wurde, bevor der Höhepunkt der Veranstaltung mit der Ehrung von Albin Walle erreicht wurde. This festive atmosphere was enriched by the presence of the local mayor Andreas Greß, who praised the commitment of the DRK family.
Greß emphasized how important the DRK is as a constant contact in the village community and emphasized that the organization offers support in many areas. The appreciation shown to the long-standing members is evidence of the great importance that the DRK has in the area.
After the emotional and heartfelt words of honor, those present were able to help themselves to a selection of culinary delicacies provided by the “Dorfkrug” kitchen. The cozy gathering not only gave members the opportunity to look back, but also to celebrate the community that has grown over the years.
The event once again illustrated the deep-rooted tradition and tireless commitment of the members of the DRK, who are committed to their fellow human beings in Heckendalheim and beyond.
