EVENTS<br />

WELCOME TO AUSTRIA<br />

Welcome to Austria:<br />

General Assembly<br />

On October 19th, the board and a large number<br />

of members held the 26th General Assembly of<br />

Welcome to Austria. It has been hosted by the Secretary<br />

General, Ambassador Nikolaus Marschik and took place at<br />

Minoritenplatz in downtown Vienna. Next to all facts and<br />

figures, the multiple projects, plans and activities for the<br />

new season were presented.<br />

Highlights like the guided tours through interesting exhibitions<br />

such as “Raphael. Gold and Silk” at Kunsthistorisches<br />

Museum for instance, or an invitation to the conference<br />

of Ambassador Christoph Thun-Hohenstein under the<br />

title “Imagine Dignity: Shaping Regenerative Futures” and<br />

the visit of the well-known ceramic artist Gundi Dietz are<br />

part of the program, as well as the monthly “Jour Fixe”, the<br />

walking tours along the river Danube or other green venues<br />

of Vienna and the traditional “Gansl-Essen”.<br />

Maria Kuglitsch, the vice president of Welcome to<br />

Austria, knows from her own experience abroad, how<br />

important it is to get to know culture, traditions and habits<br />

of one´s temporary host country by connecting with its<br />

people. Therefore, all spouses of official representatives<br />

are invited to join the organization.<br />

The beautiful Alois-<br />

Mock-Saal has<br />

once again been<br />

the venue for the<br />

General Assembly.<br />

The board members have been attending the assembly including Gerti<br />

Tauchhammer, who has been one of the founders of Welcome to Austria.<br />
