FKFI – Freundeskreis Farewell…

Lesedauer ca. < 1 Minute

On Friday April 10 we wound up the Freundeskreis für Integration Inzing: the end of an era. Sadly so. An era that was founded by Andreas Tausch and Luis Strasser. It was felt that the association had largely completed its primary function: to integrate ‘Newcomers’ into living in Inzing and having social contacts, and to encourage their mutual self-help.

Over a dozen of us met in the Widum to celebrate the association. A lavish table of ‘goodies’ – pastries, cakes, and much more – were well received!

We offered a special tribute to Daniela (Klockner) for coordinating the activities of the Freundeskreis over the last few years. We thanked her for…

  • her idealistic commitment
  • her systematic and efficient guidance
  • her careful overview
  • her sympathetic care and concern

We presented her with a present and a voucher: tokens of our sincere, heartfelt appreciation for all her hard work.

He has worked in Austria for most of his working life. He is a great reader and has an impressive library. His other interests include classic cars and football. Sandra had a varied career as a manager in public services in the UK, finally specializing in Customer Service. She spent the last part of her working life as a freelance management consultant. She is also qualified to teach English and is a member of the Institute of Customer Service (UK). Her hobbies include gardening, hillwalking and cycling. She and Andrew married in August 2006 and Sandra moved to Inzing in 2011 when they built their house in Brechtenweg. Andrew and Sandra are members of the Inzing Freundeskreis für Integration and help to run a fortnightly Sprachcafé for newcomers. Andrew was a contributor to the Radio Enterbach project in 2009 and Andrew and Sandra now make two programmes for Freirad, Poetry Café and reading Circle (both in English). They are keen to ensure that the Dorfzeitung remains a meaningful and useful publication which offers something to everyone who lives in the village.

Ein Gedanke zu “FKFI – Freundeskreis Farewell…

  1. Thank you, Sandrew, for this nice report. I am sure the Freundeskreis has helped many people find their bearings in a new environment, not least thanks to the efforts of people like you.
    I have fond memories of excursions on the Zirbenweg on Patscherkofel or of an evening of dance, music (and amazing food) in the Mehrzwecksaal that brought people from here and from far away together.
    I hope that many who came here in difficult times have found a new place in the world. Vartuhi, who now has her own restaurant, is a shining example.
