Mitgliederversammlung & Jahresabschluss

Featuring a public lecture by Dr. Gröschl

Dr. Jutta Gröschl will discuss the topic “Democracy in Transition,” using U.S. and British newsreels from the “Welt im Film” series to illustrate how the Allies envisioned the establishment of democracy in Germany and how it was actually implemented. In a sense, this presentation will trace the history leading up to the founding of the American Settlement.

We will provide separate information regarding the program and the exact time.

Following the event, as we do every year, we invite members and guests to join us for light refreshments and an informal discussion. We look forward to a good turnout; registration is not required.

On two stages and at numerous stands, visitors can look forward to a wide range of culinary delights and a varied program with lots of activities - including for the many young guests. RASP will be represented with a stand. We look forward to welcoming many visitors.

The Bad Godesberg Summer Festival is a great opportunity for young and old to get information about the work and diverse club life in the district at numerous stands while strolling through the city park. It also offers an ideal opportunity to participate in the community involvement of the district.

Panel discussion

The American settlement in Plittersdorf is currently once again a topic of public discussion. That is why the association “Rettet die Amerikanische Siedlung Plittersdorf e.V.” (Save the American Settlement Plittersdorf) invited guests to discuss the following topics:

• American Embassy Club - Open Embassy for Democracy Project - Is the project in danger of failing?
• Massive tree felling in spring – why were so many trees cut down? No replanting in sight!
• Increasing crime in the neighborhood—burglaries and property damage are on the rise. What plans does local government have to stop this trend?

Members of Bonn City Council, Bad Godesberg District Council, and representatives of Vebowag and its supervisory board addressed current issues in a panel discussion organized by RASP. During the event, the audience will also have the opportunity to ask questions. We look forward to a constructive exchange and hope to see many of you there. We would like to thank the participants for the lively exchange and discussion.

White Dinner

Unfortunately, we had to cancel the event for health reasons and due to the weather forecast. If there is a rescheduled date, we will announce it here.

Question and answer session on tree felling

Ms. Katja Dörner responded to our questions, which we had submitted in advance. Further information is available here.
