Voluntary heroic ceremony: Neurath triumphs at the audience award!

At the awarding of the honorary office in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss, the atmosphere was shaped by joy and surprise. The award is awarded by the Rhein-Kreis Neuss, RWE Power and the Neuß-Grevenbroicher Zeitung in order to honor the commitment of volunteers. This year the team of the "City Randrack Neurath" was awarded the audience award, which they won due to the votes of readers of the NGZ. This team consists of 32 volunteers who have organized tasks for more than 120 children for over 30 years and receive great recognition for this.

The jury members, which include the first deputy district administrator Katharina Reinhold and RWE director Karl-Heinz, had made a decision with the selection of 33 applications that emphasized the social responsibility of the award winners throughout the year. The jury also awarded a youth prize that the students of the Norf high school received for their commitment to various social projects. Headmaster Stefan Kremer and the teacher Daniel Lupo proudly accepted the award. They emphasized how important it is that the young people work for other people in parallel to their strenuous everyday school life.

Festive framework in the Zechenhaus

The RWE Zechenhaus in the Garzweiler open -cast mine offered a festive framework for the award ceremony. Host Karl-Heinz Staute welcomed the approximately 60 guests and referred to the importance of community traditions in mining. District Administrator Hans-Jürgen Petrauschke emphasized in his speech the indispensable commitment of the volunteers, which cannot be measured in money. "Your passion and dedication contribute to a strong social cohesion in our society," he said.

In addition, the moderator of the evening, district spokesman Benjamin Joseph, entertained the audience with interesting anecdotes. The nominations were expected with a lot of tension during the evening, with the voices from the online voting and the telephone votes added up. Frank Kirschstein, the NGZ editor-in-chief, was responsible for the announcement of the winners and let the tension rise until the last moment.

In the end, the team of the city area recovery Neurath was able to emerge as a radiant winner, followed by the intercultural project heroes from Neuss and the St. Stephanus Hoeningen community. "They all shaped generations of children and adolescents with their important commitment," said Kirschstein.

The winners can look forward to a sum of 1500 euros, from which they can use a third for their own purposes. This is done in the sense of promoting young people, as district spokesman Joseph's spokesman mentioned in his speech. Likewise, the winners and all nominees await a lot of attention and recognition, which can also help them to further expand their social projects.

Overall, the event documents an impressive cooperation and appreciation for volunteering in the region. As the jury and the participants of the event have determined, social engagement remains of fundamental importance in the future to consolidate the cohesion in society.
