Anniversary bag for the Aalzangers

Harderwijk's fishermen's choir celebrates its 35th anniversary
Unfortunately, the coronavirus did not take into account the anniversary year of Harderwijk's Fishermen's Choir, the Aalzangers. This friendly group of 28 members, with an average age of 68, had a very different vision for 2020. They had planned to thank their members and sponsors with an anniversary booklet and a cool anniversary bag during a grand performance. All of this was canceled due to the outbreak of the virus. All other planned performances, such as on King's Day and the Aaltjesdagen, had to be canceled as well.

Risk group
Board member Bert Schaftenaar is disappointed but understands the whole situation. We all fall into the risk group, which makes it all very tense. We hope to stay healthy and be able to come together again soon to make music.

Anniversary bag
FF-PACKAGING is a loyal sponsor of the Aalzangers. We wanted to sponsor the cotton tote bags and anniversary booklets, but with one condition: the Aalzangers' board would receive the bags in traditional costume. So it was done. We all had a lot of fun.

Surprise
On May 1st, the time had come. To celebrate the anniversary a little, the board went out to deliver a goodie bag with the anniversary booklet to members. The sponsors received a delicious cream pie. On behalf of FF-PACKAGING, we want to congratulate the Aalzangers on their anniversary and wish you all good health.

When everything is over, we'll be in the front row, singing along with all our might during your performance. Agreed.
