CURRENT AFFAIRS

Greeting to the 2024 annual financial statements by the 1st Chairman

Karl-Heinz Klingelhöfer (Tann)

​

Thank you!

 

Dear Klingelhöfer-Klingelhöffer!

 

7 years have passed between the last family reunion in Weilburg and this year's in September in Giessen. So much so that at a board meeting in September 2023, the board thought about how or where the next family reunion should take place. 

 

The board came to the final conclusion to go to a city that is located in a large catchment area of the Klingelhöfer-Klingelhöffer family. Limburg, Weilburg, Giessen, Marburg, i.e. cities that can be reached in around 1-1 ½ hours. Hence the decision: Giessen is central and lies in the middle.

​

The date 13-15. 09. 2024 in Giessen was published with the registration and agenda in the last bell, which meant that we invited all, I emphasize once again, all members with the hope of a large turnout. But that turned out to be a fallacy.  Of the 125 members, only 20 members and 10 guests attended the general meeting, the rest were conspicuous by their absence.  I would like to thank the members who were not too far away from Giessen for their great interest: Barb Klingelhöfer-Carstens with partner from Florida (USA), Ernst-Ludwig Klingelhöfer with partner from Horw (Switzerland), Wilfried Klingelhöfer with partner from Freiburg im Breisgau, Dr. Hellmuth Klingelhöfer with partner from Berlin, Alexander Klingelhöfer from Hamburg and all the Westphalian Klingelhöfers from Bochum, Dorsten/Wulfen, Borken, and so on.... But also the Klingelhöfer from the surrounding area. Thanks again for finding your way to Giessen.

​

Special thanks go to the organizers for all the work they did in their free time, which unfortunately was not appreciated due to low attendance.  This meeting was excellently organized from Friday to Sunday with a wonderful conclusion after the city tour in the castle restaurant in Giessen. I only heard positive things during the 3 days of our family reunion, thanks again to Konstanze Zielinski from Sinn and Peter Klingelhöfer from Biebertal.

 

As only 20 members were present and entitled to vote at the general meeting, items 8 to 14 on the agenda could not be voted on and decided because the corresponding number of members was missing.

Regarding the General Meeting: Of the 125 members of the Family Association, only 20 members with voting rights were present, meaning that the meeting did not have a quorum for the proposals and election of the new Board members.  The members present therefore proposed that a new general meeting be convened.

This meeting is to be convened on 01/23/25 at 8.00 pm.

 

All members are cordially invited to this meeting, especially members with an e-mail address.

 

With the note that this meeting is quorate, regardless of the members attending. If no new Executive Board is elected at this meeting, the Executive Board will unfortunately have to dissolve the Klingelhöfer-Klingelhöffer Family Association after consultation. In order to prevent this, I hereby ask once again for active participation.
