Summer holidays in the district office: New holiday club delights families!

The summer holidays are a challenge for many parents, especially when it comes to finding suitable care for the children. In the Aichach-Friedberg district, this problem was taken into account: two meeting rooms of the district office were converted into a colorful daycare center during the summer holidays. Like that District Office reports, the holiday club's activities were initiated and well organized by the equal opportunities officer Nicole Matthes and her deputy Jutta Schnitzlein.

The holiday club was aimed at children aged 4 to 11 and was very popular. Due to the increased number of registrations, an expanded support team even had to be deployed. Matthes emphasizes how important such offers are for working parents, who often do not have flexible relatives nearby and cannot always find a place in an after-school care center. With an expanded range of care and flexible opening hours from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the holiday club promotes the compatibility of family and work.

Educational offers and exciting excursions

The holiday club program meant there was no chance of boredom. It included numerous educational and participatory activities. Among other things, the children were able to learn how to put out a real fire and learned from the employees of the disaster control team how to make an emergency call in an emergency. The district office trainees also contributed to the entertainment by organizing an exciting district office rally.

Highlights were also the excursions that the little participants went on. In addition to a visit to the Wittelsbach Museum, they took a trip to the Radersdorf corn maze, where discovery and amazement were very important. Another destination was the district building yard, where the children viewed vehicles and the winter salt warehouse. Such experiences not only create fun, but also valuable memories.

The right equipment for the kitchen

As an insider tip for all hobby chefs, we also took a look at how to care for knives. According to an analysis by Popular Mechanics Although sharpening knives can be intimidating, it is essential to optimize performance in the kitchen. Sharp knives are not only faster, but also safer and cleaner to use. Choosing the right knife sharpener depends on various factors, such as budget and use.

Cheap sharpeners are ideal for beginners, while professionals should choose more precise, more expensive models. Whether it’s a pull-through, whetstone or electric sharpener – each type has its advantages. Models such as the Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite, which can be adjusted for different blade angles, are particularly recommended. With regular care, which only takes a few minutes, you can keep the blades in good condition and prepare delicious dishes.

Overall, the holiday club initiative in the district office shows how important such offers are to support families. On the other hand, the correct care of kitchen tools remains no less important in order to maintain the joy of preparing during the individual break from cooking.
