Dear Members and Patrons,
Just before the beginning of the Summer Semester, here is the latest news from our association.
I am delighted to have received the honor of being able to preside over the Booster Club. Since I completed my sports studies at the University of Würzburg, my heart beats especially for Würzburg and the opportunity in supporting young people in their development of a healthy lifestyle. For me, this association is exactly the right platform to support student athletic activities and at the same time to uphold this tradition. In this sense, I look forward to the opportunities and obligations of the Presidency.
On 18 December 2018, the annual general meeting took place, which included an election of a new board and Auditors as follows:
President: Dr. Andreas Petko
Vice President: Philo Holland
Treasurer: Ursula Störmer-Grandy
Secretary: Johannes Bieber
Auditors: Rainer Plaß, Bern Bratek
The next upcoming major event is the Booster Club's Crowd-funding project: "Student Rowing Tradition Mainfranken". Finally, the long-term project preparation is now in the starting blocks and will begin with a Kickoff Event on April 30, 2019. This is an ambitious project to ensure the student rowing tradition stays alive. We need all the help we can get, no matter how small, because only together can make such an important project a success.
Best Regards,
Andreas Petko
