Greetings fellow globetrotters!! Can you believe we have been travelling the Globe for seven weeks. I think it is time to have a little break and go fishing. Let’s visit our International President and First Lady - Holgar and Susanne Knaack in Germany.

“Rotary Opens Opportunities “ is this year’s theme so lets take  this river opportunity. If we sit two to a boat and use the entire river we can keep the social distance rules. Get ready to catch rainbow trout, lake char, taimen, pike, walleye and maybe perch or carp- all are common in Germany’s rivers, brooks and lakes.

In the July issue of the ROTARIAN  - “Rotary opens opportunities for us to live a richer, more meaningful life, with friends around the world, based on our core values “ said Holger. Fishing for opportunities to make new friends in Germany!!

If we have time we might attend the Rotary Club of Herzogtum Lauenburg - Molly. This is  the home club of  Holger . His life’s work has been involved with real-estate so maybe we can enjoy a tour of Ratzeburg with time on the golf course organized by past president ( Holger) of Golf- Club Gut Grambek. 

We can visit the capital city of Berlin and the famous Brandenburg Gate, maybe a quick visit to the Black Forest or time in Hamburg. The beautiful Rhine Valley to taste the wine and other fine food, and finally the famous Berlin Wall. A great time to think about the importance of PEACE.

Enjoy this beautiful country and give thanks for the joy of being a Rotarian. This will be a great fishing story and you can talk about the ‘big one that got away ‘ as a reason to return to this beautiful country.
