We are so proud of Uwe!

🌟 Meet Uwe Karsten Krickhahn 🌟
At the age of 70, Uwe began expanding a free database using the Kartenmeister platform. Over the years, his extensive research, mapping, and cross-referencing have helped uncover more than 110,000 locations across what was once known as East and West Prussia, Pomerania, and Poland. His work has helped identify lost locations and trace family names that changed following the Second World War.

Through decades of dedication, Uwe has created a valuable resource that gives people a renewed sense of identity, belonging, and connection to places and families that might otherwise have disappeared from memory.
Congratulations Uwe!

We had a great meeting at The Monarch Theatre last night! It was a special meeting as District Governor Darcy Mykytyshynon joined our meeting and shared with us his hope and vision for this next season of Rotary - CREATE LASTING IMPACT.

We also had a cheque presentation to the Santa Claus Fund for $1,000. We are proud that 2 of our members - Ivan and Wyatt - also wear multiple hats being not only Saamis Rotarians but longtime members of the Santa Claus Fund!

We would also like to thank members of the Medicine Hat Rotary Club for attending as well - it’s great when our clubs can get together to do something GREAT for the community!
