74 new donors
For the KNRM!
Saturday 24 May saw a large turnout during KNRM's open day. This year, KNRM is celebrating its 200th anniversary! Many donors took the opportunity to take a trip on the lifeboat. On the Lifeboat Day, the cheque with 74 new donors was handed over to the chairman by De Krim Texel, with mayor of Texel, Mark Pol, and skipper Thijs Westerlaken in attendance.
KNRM Package
A memorable moment was the presentation of a cheque issued by De Krim Texel. Since 2010, De Krim Texel has offered its guests ‘KNRM packages’ in this period of the year. For guests who take advantage of these packages, De Krim Texel also pays one year’s contribution to the KNRM, which is valued at €25.00. In practice, by far the majority of these guests remain a donor for years afterwards. This year, De Krim Texels packages supplied 74 new donors. The KNRM depends fully on donations, which it receives from donors and other parties. Thanks in part to De Krim Texel's efforts, Texel far outstrips other locations in the country with the number of new donors recruited each year.
The cheque
De Krim Texel has presented a cheque for more than €1800. These funds were raised thanks to the special KNRM package, which had been purchased by 74 of De Krim Texels guests. KNRM volunteers can be seen on the quay.
