Stronger Together – a fantastic example of Side by Side!A huge congratulations and thank you to Jill Harris, IPP Tangent Club International, for her wonderful “Pin It On” campaign!Throughout her years as Vice President and President of Tangent Club International, Jill collected, sold and auctioned pins and coins with fantastic support from friends across the Round Table Family – including many members of 41 INTERNATIONAL.The result is amazing: €3,005 raised!Each of the five Round Table Family Associations will receive €601 to support a charity of their choice. In addition, Jill has already donated extra pins and coins to 11 charity campaigns within our Family – with more still to come.The idea behind the campaign is just as important as the amount raised: to show what is possible when our five Associations work together, support each other and turn friendship into action.Thank you, Jill, for this wonderful initiative – and thank you to everyone from 41 INTERNATIONAL who supported the campaign by buying pins, joining the auctions and helping to make it such a success.Five Associations. One Family. Stronger together. Side by Side.Jill harris IPP Tangent Club International#41international #tangentclubinternational #roundtablefamily #sidebyside

WHAT A HYM – WHAT A WEEKEND!The joint HYM of 41 INTERNATIONAL and Tangent Club International has safely returned to harbour – and what an unforgettable journey it has been!Perfectly planned and organized by OTSF and TCSF, this very special HYM brought our international family with 41 INTERNATIONAL, Tangent Club and Agora Club together in a truly unique setting. A huge thank you to the entire Finnish team and everyone who worked behind the scenes to make this weekend possible.Our “Love Boat”, the Viking Gabriella, was certainly an unusual venue for an HYM – but an absolutely brilliant one. Helsinki, Stockholm and, for some of us, even Tallinn: for the first time, an HYM connected THREE European capitals in one long weekend.On board, there was the perfect combination of productive meetings, important discussions and decisions for our joint future – together with friendship, laughter, celebrations and countless opportunities to connect across countries and associations.This is what international friendship is all about: meeting old friends, making new ones, sharing ideas and creating memories together.A very special HYM, a fantastic weekend and many new memories to take home. Thank you, Finland, for your wonderful hospitality and organization.Make New Memories!Robert Lerch41 INTERNATIONAL President 2026/2027#41international #letsbuildourfuture
