It was a great celebration for our clients, employees, volunteers and guests. There was also a lot of interest in the visit outside. Around 2.30 pm, the Queen arrived at Kronenburg, where she walked to the main entrance through a guard of honor of children, residents of the municipality of Aalburg and the musical sounds of brass band Oefening & Uitspanning. Here she was welcomed by Mr. Groeneveld and Mrs. Lankhaar who handed her a flower. Then Ap van Toor, director of Woonservice Meander, and our director, Cor van Toorn escorted the Queen inside. In the atrium, both directors gave a brief explanation of the realization of the building and all the activities that take place here. Then the company went out again and the Queen unveiled the statue Quintus by Richard vd Koppel. Quintus refers to the 5th commandment: "Honor your father and mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you". The image symbolizes the "warm care" of Zorgplein Maaswaarden. After the unveiling, the tour of the building started and the Queen was introduced to clients, employees and volunteers. After raising a glass of champagne and an informal gathering, the chairmen of the Works Councils presented the Queen with a basket of regional products, which concluded the visit. We can look back on a fantastically beautiful afternoon, which will be talked about for a long time to come.
