8 9 Loyalty trips to Rheinsberg
Residents of housing cooperatives are much more than just tenants. They are members of a strong community which is also more than just a place to live.
Which is why we‘d like to show our special appreciation to anyone who has been a member of our organisation for 40 years or longer. In the spirit of a cooperative we‘d like to bring people together. We’re inviting eligible members to come on a day’s outing to Rheinsberg and enjoy a boat trip on beautiful lakes. A welcome glass of sparkling wine, lunch and coffee and cake are included.
We started the first trips in 2011. Five groups of around 50 people were taken from our office by coach to Rheinsberg and spent a lovely day together. Since then we’ve been regularly inviting people to join us on these outings.
