Since 1993 I have lived with my wife (and our children, who were still living at home then) in the Ooievaarsnest neighbourhood, with our back garden bordering the small football pitch Twickel – Rooswijck.
As a family we regularly took part in the activities in the neighbourhood and also helped behind the scenes. In the meantime, our daughter has also come to live in the neighbourhood with her husband and two children.
She has joined the activities committee. When I saw that Max was not standing for re-election, and with about 1.5 years of work left before my retirement date, I thought this might be a nice challenge to take on this role.
Together with the other activity members, I will try to make a success of it under the motto “together we stand strong” and “many hands make light work”.
