This year's Christmas party took place at the Westerhart Golf Club. For years it has become a tradition that the new apprentice tells a Christmas story. Elias followed this custom with a story presented in modern "Denglish style" and earned much well-deserved applause. Manfred Eberhard from the Management board was again able to honor several employees for 15 and 20 years of company loyalty. Also this year, all participants of the Christmas party were quite generous in donating money for a good cause. The proceeds from the donations will be given to several recipients such as Moritz Brückner from Buxheim, the disabled contact group of Memmingen; the Uganda Vocational School; the Vesper Church of Memmingen and the social service of catholic men (SKM).
