Contributor Review by Brigitta Mullican: Sister City Fundraiser A Success

>Rockville Central friend Brigitta Mullican, a founder of the Rockville Sister City Corporation, sent along this wonderful report of that organization’s 16th annual wine-tasting fundraiser held last Friday at everyone’s favorite Glenview Mansion. Here it is:

On Friday night, the Rockville Sister City Corporation (RSCC) held its 16th Annual Wine Tasting fundraiser at the Glenview Mansion. The first event in the second half of a century of friendship and relationships with Pinneberg and other global communities attracted a lively crowd interested in learning more about other cultures and our program of supporting student exchanges.

The Rockville Mayor Susan Hoffmann, and Council Member Piotr Gajewski, as well as the Executive Director of Sister Cities International, Patrick Madden, honored us with their presence and participation to recognize David L’Heureux for his eleven successful years of service as the RSCC President.

Susan Hoffmann highlighted David’s achievements as the RSCC President and his many volunteer contributions to other community organizations and commissions of the City of Rockville. She called him a true Community Man who is an advocate for people in need, especially the handicapped and disadvantaged.

Patrick Madden honored David for his many contributions to international and global outreach, one person, one community at a time. The Board of Directors surprised David with a present.

Former director, Stephanie Wright, who also stepped down from her position on the Board, received recognition for her many years of dedicated service, organizing student exchanges, securing host families for visitors from Pinneberg and leading numerous fundraisers.

Rotraut Bockstahler stated: “I feel honored to serve as the new RSCC President together with such dedicated, wonderful, community oriented members of the Board of Directors.”

RSCC’s next social events are: a film night at the Rockville Senior Center, April 11 at 7:00 pm, the German Classic “The Blue Angel” with Marlene Dietrich, and the Fall Wine Tasting also at the Rockville Senior Center on November 7 (tentative date). Please check our website for more information.

Thanks Brigitta!
