Enhanced safety measures at the Kennedy residence: Harburger Lions Club contributes €4,000 towards improved security.
✌️ Kudos to the Kennedy House in Harburg's Phoenix Quarter! They got a double surprise this Wednesday with an unexpected gift. The Harburg-Harburger Berge and Harburg-Altstadt Lions Clubs dropped by for a visit, doling out a total of 4k euros.
Bernd Meyer, along with president Marius Wiese from the Harburg-Altstadt Lions Club, came bearing gifts. They've been dishing out a 1k euro donation every Christmas to Kennedy House for close to a decade, Meyer mentioned.
The 3k euros from the Hamburg-Harburger Berge Lions Club came straight from their "Summertime Music" event, which grooved into its second year at the Helms Lounge last July. The money was handed over by past president Tomas Neumann-Thieme and activity coordinator Gerald Boekhoff.
The crowd went wild at the "Summertime Music" event, with over 120 guests enthralled by the local heroes "Homefield Stompers" and the band "Skiffle Track" on the open-air stage at the museum square.
So, what's this big donation going towards? As Katharina Mittag, the center's director, stated, "We aim to take the kids on lovely outings during the holiday care. Unfortunately, this isn't budgeted for."
Here's a lowdown on where donations to children's centers usually wind up:
- Private Individuals: Frequently drawn to support community development or, perhaps, share a personal connection with the area.
- Corporations: Companies might donate to boost their community image or engage in corporate social responsibility activities.
- Foundations and Charities: These organizations dedicate themselves to children's welfare, education, or development.
