Dear Reader, Dear Members and Friends,
In Bavaria, taking responsibility for others enjoys a long tradition. Two examples show how Bavarian businesses and individuals get involved in volunteering every day:
The internet platform "Wirtschaft weiß-blau" presents over 2,500 Bavarian companies of all sizes which demonstrate extraordinary social and ecological commitment.
The Bavarian Industry Association (vbw) also pays tribute to volunteers from Bavaria by honoring them as "vbw champs". For the fourth year, the vbw has awarded these prizes to seven “everyday heroes” during an annual bike ride sponsored by the vbw.
I wish you a pleasant summer and I hope you enjoy reading the articles in this month’s newsletter.
