We received the yearbook of the Richard-Wagner-Verband International, and our society is listed there. Wagner societies can also list all their yearly activities, which we have not done yet because it is quite expensive. However, we can get ideas for our own society from reading what other societies are doing, so in that sense this yearbook is very valuable.

I counted 136 Wagner societies around the world, including places such as Zagreb, Tartu (Estonia), Montevideo, Charkiw (Ukraine), Beijing, Athens, and Bangkok.

It's nice to feel a kinship with so many societies in places both near and far-flung.
