Heartwarming thank-you lunch

What a beautiful thank-you lunch! With over 200 volunteers from all corners of the city, we celebrated on Sunday, December 7.#NationalVolunteerDayand the tireless commitment that makes Amsterdam stronger and more social. And that in a special location:Sofitel Legend The Grand Amsterdam

It was a very beautiful afternoon. We enjoyed it immensely and it was wonderful to see how much fun everyone was having at the table.

AldermanAlexander Scholtessaid it aptly:

“It is special and very valuable what you all do. To you and all the other 280,000 volunteers in Amsterdam: thank you! It’s cool to be kind!”
