Social Gathering
 

On Monday evening, the city of Lindau and the Lindau Meeting Foundation sponsored a social gathering for the students and laureates.  The highlight of the evening was a polonaise led by Count Christian Bernadotte and Mayor Petra Meier toBernd-Seidl.  Men and women line up separately and are randomly paired for a procession which culminates in a waltz. The ladies receive a red carnation from the men.  Students were able to interact with laureates during the course of the evening.

In addition, a gift was presented to Countess Bettina Bernadotte-Haug with best wishes for the birth of her first child.  Later in the evening, the students gathered to present a gift to the Bernadotte family in appreciation for their patronage of the Lindau meeting.  The presentation was followed by a group photo with Count Christian.
