Welcome to the network

Festive reception: VBKI welcomes its new members

Kick-off in style: In mid-May, it was once again time to welcome our new members - the Grand Hyatt library on Marlene-Dietrich-Platz was the stylish setting for the celebratory get-together.

VBKI President Markus Voigt warmly welcomed the attendees and introduced the association with its 2,300 members as a platform for dialog, networking and social commitment. The new members were then given the opportunity to present themselves personally in a round of introductions.

Among the new members were: Alexander Krause, Antonia Friedel, Antonia Marie Marx, Bernhard Bartz, Caroline Martens, Christian Farkas, Christiane von der Eltz, Christopher Henniger, Constanze Fath, Daniel-Jan Girl, Fabian Landgraf, Henry Fiebelkorn, Karsten Klatte, Katja Ingenhoven, Katja Rübberdt, Klara Bothe, Leo Hille, Lorenz Gründel, Manuel Koch, Marc Schwarzer, Maren Courage, Maria Kassandra Murri, Markus Lühr, Oliver Kirbach, Pasquale Delli Paoli, Richard Spitzner, Rouven Chalabi, Sandra Farkas, Sebastian Henniger and Stephan Pietsch.

The guests were also spoiled with culinary delights: marinated Beelitz asparagus with confit colorful cherry tomatoes, wild herb salad and bread crisp (vegan) was served as a starter. The main course was a grilled veal saddle steak with potato gratin, shallot jus and glazed turnips. The vegan alternative: orecchiette with wild garlic sauce, artichokes, olives and spinach.

And for dessert, a selection of fine compositions awaited the guests: vegan chocolate apricot slice, chocolate mousse with pistachio cream and Filu crunch (vegan) and nougat panna cotta with pickled cherries and coated hazelnut.

In a pleasant atmosphere, the evening offered space for personal discussions, initial contacts within the VBKI network - and enjoyable encounters at all levels.
