Dear members, dear friends,

We wish you a Merry Chistmas and for the year to come all the best.

Today we inform you about the visit of Prof. James Bade from Auckland / New Zealand, this happened at the beginning of that month.

First we me at one evening in a restaurant named "Grüns Weinstuben", which is quite a historic place. Von Luckner had decades ago decided in that restaurant to do his first lectures. This was such a success that he had to do more and became later on a famous author.

At the next day we had a sight seeing tour, leading us to the new designed office of our society (you will be informed about that later on) and of course to the former home of the Count.

Prof. Bade and his family got many impressions on Halle and promised to come back. We hope to see more of our foreign members in Halle, all of you are welcome any time you want.

Best regards

Matthias J. Maurer
President
