Our President proudly announced the outcome from the happening in the presence of our guests Mr. Károly János Szücs from Rotary Club Dunaharaszti, Hungary, Mr. Brandur Haukson, Mr. Thomas Metz, Mr. Atanas Andreev, and Mr. Dimitar Dimitrov. Also on the day of the fundraising event – 14 March 2019 our sitting volleyball club got officially registered. Thanks to our member Mr. Svetozar Shkoutov who was engaged with the legal work of the registration.
All present agreed that Wine It! – 2019 event was successful, very well organized, and all present enjoyed the party until late hours. After drawing up the balance sheet, we had a total of more than 150 participants, 16 wineries, 15 additional sponsors, a DJ, more than enough finger food, a goulash cook-off between our members Mr. Peter Simon and Mr. Enrico Repouz.
