The carnival session has begun

The carnival session has begun and UNiversa Skirmante and the UNFunken were in Bonn at the Marktplatz to greet the season.
Thank you to Prinz Roland I and Bonna Stephanie III, Kinder Prinz Noah I and Bonna Leonie I, the Festausschuss Bonner Karneval and Mayor Guido Déus for bringing the sunshine and a wonderful program to the stage under the motto “200 Jahre Bonner Karneval – jestern, hück und morje”.
We are looking forward to meeting old and new friends throughout this carnival session! 3 x Alaaf

💸 Crowdfunding Campaign for sustainable Ordens

We have started a crowdfunding campaign on the platform „Viele schaffen mehr“ (many achieve more). We want to raise funds for our sustainable wooden Ordens for this session and beyond. 

The benefit of asking for donations via this platform: The bank will top up each donation from an individual donor of more than 5 Euros with another 10 Euros. More smaller donations mean more added money from the bank.

The campaign will run until 26 November 2025. If we reach our funding goal of 1,000 Euros, we will get this amount plus the matching amounts from the hosting bank. Any amount beyond our goal will also be ours. Should we not reach the goal, donators will receive their money back. And we will get NOTHING. Hard to imagine that this could happen though with such an engaged group of members and friends.

Impressions from our General Assembly yesterday……the serious business of carnival🤡

Thank you to all the UNFunken members who attended yesterday either in person, online or in spirit. President Heidi, Secretary Ute and Treasurer Audrey were unanimously voted to continue as the board to lead the sparkles for the next two years.

Congratulations again to our next UNiversa Skirmante. We are planning for an exciting session and we can’t wait for it to begin.
