Gertraud Brühl: Second term as President of the Inner Wheel Club!

Gertraud Brühl is blowing like a fresh wind over the Inner Wheel Club Bad Orb-Büdingen-Nidda again. She was recently elected president for the second time and will lead the club until June 30, 2026. At an attentive meeting in Gedern Castle Park, her predecessor Anja Schönhals, looking back on her year in office, handed over the chain of office to Brühl, who now wants to devote herself to the challenges with fresh enthusiasm. The tasks are diverse: generating money for social projects, involving young people and promoting cultural life in the region, describes fnp.de.

“The head is round so that thinking can change direction” is the motto that Gertraud Brühl has chosen for her term of office. In doing so, she shows that she wants to bring innovative ideas and fresh approaches to the club's work. Brühl plans to recruit new members and give young people space for their ideas. This is particularly important after preparations for the traditional bazaar in the Nidda community center, which had been a main source of income for many years, had to be stopped. Participation in the bazaar has decreased and the camps in Nidda and Schotten also had to be closed.

Take on social responsibility

A focus of the upcoming activities is also on supporting social projects. The club has already acted actively in this regard in the past and regularly distributed donations to various projects, schools and institutions in the region. To remember the late Dr. To honor Ingrid Wieland, the exhibition “Ingrid's World” was prepared, which took place in February 2025 in the “Lo Studio” gallery in Büdingen. This was a further step towards social responsibility and cultural promotion, in line with the club's goals as well bad-nauheim-friedberg.innerwheel.de reported.

Another important aspect that the club addresses is its participation in the Orange Day campaign, which highlights the International Day against Violence against Women on November 25th every year. Last year, the central event took place in the Wetterau district in Nidda, where around 150 people dressed in orange came together to make a statement. Speakers such as Thorsten Eberhard, mayor of Nidda, and Natalie Pawlik, member of the Bundestag, pointed out the frightening increase in cases of domestic violence and called for a clear position against all forms of violence.

Help for Nepal

At a time when it is important to help beyond regional borders, the Inner Wheel Club Bad Orb-Büdingen-Nidda is also involved in an important project in Nepal. The non-governmental organization SWAN specializes in improving living conditions in one of the poorest countries in the world. The aim of the project is to rebuild the Shree Birenda School in the village of Pakuwa, where 297 students, including 171 girls, are currently being taught. The project has already received a lot of support and all donations go to the reconstruction without any deductions district90.innerwheel.de informed.

After the meeting to hand over the chain of office, a social gathering took place in the castle restaurant, which underlined the good atmosphere in the club. Gertraud Brühl and her board have thus set the course for an active and committed year in which more space should be created for new ideas and initiatives at all times.
