A successful charity concert by the Kiwanis Club Bregenz conveyed the timeless message of hope and charity. In addition, 6000 euros were collected for a good cause.

The Protestant Kreuzkirche on Ölrain recently became the venue for an extraordinary concert: Elvis tribute artist Rusty presented an impressive gospel performance that brought the spiritual side of the "King of Rock 'n' Roll" to life. What many people don't know: Elvis Presley, one of the most successful musicians of all time, won three Grammys in his career - all for gospel music. Fittingly, Rusty, who has represented Elvis' music worldwide for over 35 years, brought classics such as "How Great Thou Art" and "He Touched Me" to the stage.

President Wolfgang Folie of the Kiwanis Club Bregenz opened the concert and thanked the numerous guests who had made the success of the charity evening possible with their participation. The proceeds of 6000 euros will go directly to social projects for children. Among the guests were many well-known personalities such as Heinz Hagen with Elena, Albert Kofler (hotelier) with Maria, Primar Emanuel Zitt and Dr. Bruno Dressel with Anita.
