It's okay, in Plau you don't just say "thank you". It is shown. With heart, with commitment, with togetherness. When the Bathtub Rally 2.0 sails across the Elde on 19 July, there will not only be water under the boats - an entire region will be involved. Quiet, strong and unwavering. And it is precisely these people that we want to dedicate a word to today: Heimatstützern.
Because without them, there would be no rally. No prices. No frame. No feeling of "We can do this together". They are not self-promoters, not loudspeakers – but enablers in the best sense of the word.
Good day to all of you who carry the cause.
Manuela Roitzsch – it not only ensures prizes, but also real appreciation. For those who dare to go on a long journey with a bathtub. And that's more than you think.
Ebert Entsorgungthat works cleanly – even behind the scenes.
The Evangelical Lutheran parish of Plau am See, which is there when you need more than applause. Ours Tourist information , which does more than hand out flyers – namely show heart and attitude. The Plauer Segler-Verein e.V.who knows what it means to build on water. The Elenburg Holiday Rental Suzana & Frank Neubauer , which create space for new ideas. The Falk Seehotel with his cocktail crew and the Plauer Candybar, which not only serves enjoyment, but lives it.
Family Sven Hoffmeister, which refills the term "belonging".
MiU24, who think along, help steer and make visible what is being done here.
Please accept this digital applause – not loudly, but honestly.
Because you show that home is not a place you own. Home is a space that you design together. With a view to the future, with heart in the now and with respect for what was.
Goodbye, ego. Hello, we-feeling.
What is being created here is not a show. It is a foundation. For Plau, for the region, for guests from near and far. For those who want to act. For those who want to feel like they belong. For those who toast big things with a small gesture.
YOUseePLAU says thank you. And invites you to be part of it.
Not as a spectator, but as part of the whole. As someone who knows: When many small cogs mesh together, it becomes something bigger than ourselves.
Tach schön – and to a bathtub rally that carries us all.
Your team from YOUseePLAU.
