New president in the Rotary Club Oberpfälzer Wald: Josef Wutz leads!

In the heart of the Upper Palatinate Forest there was a generation change at the Rotary Club Oberpfälzer Wald/Oberviechtach. On June 24, the ceremonial transfer manner took place in the Sporrer inn, where Manfred Sax handed over the scepter to his successor Josef Wutz. Wutz will lead the club's fortunes for one year, while Sax looks back on a varied year with numerous lectures, excursions and social events.

The Manfred Sax record is impressive: The club supported various projects that range from integration initiatives to international aid projects. Regional associations also learned funding through the activities of the Rotarians. External speakers reported on topics from church music to medicine myths to human rights, which underlines the range of engagement.

commitment to the community

The Rotary Club attaches great importance to an active and diverse club life. The hands-on projects included the Christkindlmarkt and fundraisers for a hospice in Schwandorf. Events such as the Ganser Seals in exchange with the Rotary Club Weiden or excursions to southern Bohemia and Waldsassen not only promote the community, but also the international friendship that forms the heart of the Rotarian ideal.

Josef Wutz entered his new office with clear ideas. In his inaugural speech, he emphasized the importance of values, attitude and joint action in restless times. He recalled the Rotarian four-question sample, which serves as an ethical compass to make decisions in the sense of the community. Two central goals of Wutz for his term are a lively, open and joyful club life as well as a consistent social engagement.

an international network with good values ​​

Rotary is much more than just a local club; It is an international network with over 1.2 million members who are active in more than 46,000 clubs worldwide. Its members are committed to sustainable changes in neighborhoods, countries and in their own lives. As Rotary.org illustrated, projects are organized in six focus areas: from peace work to educational support to environmental and illness. The focus is on the commitment to humanitarian aid and the care of international friendships.

The story of Rotary goes back to 1905 when the first club was founded in Chicago. Since then, the organization has continuously developed, as [https://rotary.de/sgesellschaft/zur-geschichte-rotarys-dieSweigsten-A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------189.html) describes. From the founding of the first club in Austria in 1925 to the current membership, which comprises more than 7,800 Rotarians in 150 clubs in Austria, Rotary has become a significant force for transformation.

With a view to the coming term, the Rotary Club is optimistic and ready to design numerous projects and encounters. The members are convinced that they can continue to have a positive impact on the community and the world through their joint action.
