In view of the war in Ukraine, combined with the heartbreaking images and the plight of those who remained in Ukraine, as well as the large number of people who have come and will come to us in fear of their lives, the GCEM seniors canceled the season opening tournament on 14 April 2022 associated with a fundraiser. The very gratifying sum of 1500 EUR (subsequently another 800 EUR) will be divided and will be transferred to an official donation account "Germany helps". Another amount was handed over to Mrs. Petra Tacke, manager of the restaurant "Elfrather Mühle", in order to support Ukrainians and their family members materially in their professional and personal environment.
