Consul for Public Affairs Mark Wenig and Saxony-Anhalt English Teachers

November 7, 2006
On the U.S. Election Day, Consul for Public Affairs Mark Wenig addressed 20 English teachers about the midterm elections. The event took place at the Magdeburg public library, Saxony-Anhalt's America@your library partner. The group was first welcomed by Ms. Beate Hörning, who oversees the library's partnership with the Consulate, in which she introduced the guests. Leipzig's Information Resource Center (IRC) director provided an overview on relevant election resources and handed out brochures and CD-ROMs about the U.S. Georg von der Gablentz of the Magdeburg-based German American Dialogue Center, and Ms. Katrin Risch, a former Consulate intern who will participate in the "National Model United Nations" program in New York, were also in attendance.
