30 Years House to the Homeland
Originated from a
Legacy of
1911
At the 30-year anniversary celebration of House to the Homeland, club president Hans Ischi vividly outlined the development of the retirement and nursing home, whose "birth" was based on a legacy of 9500 francs from Elisabeth Cordier in 1911. hm. - Only 19 years later, the idea of a reformed retirement home was taken up again by the Moor family and actively pursued. In 1935, a building fund was created, which was further increased through active fundraising. Three years later, a plot of land at Martin-Disteli-Strasse 12 was purchased for 55,000 francs. The outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 caused the project to be put on hold.
In 1956, the association House to the Homeland was founded and an architectural competition was announced; this showed that the acquired
President Hans Ischi was able to welcome numerous guests to the "30 Years House to the Homeland" anniversary celebration.
Photo: HR. Aeschbacher property was too small. It was sold to the PTT here; the parcel at the current location was purchased and a new project was developed. Savings delayed the realization of the construction project for years. Finally, it was time.
At the festively flower-decorated tables, the raffle of coffee tickets was visibly enjoyed with joy and appetite, with a Goldvreneli as the first prize. Those who wanted grilled sausages or hamburgers instead of Swedish roast had the opportunity to cater accordingly. Significant shopping vouchers were also awarded. Not to be forgotten is the bazaar in the entrance hall, where useful items made by many diligent hands were offered for sale: scarves, hats, socks, bibs, and pearl necklaces, but also bricelets, nut croissants, and much more. The cantonal and the Evangelical Reformed Church community of Olten contributed considerable subsidies. Further notable donations were secured by some initiative club members.
Table music on the piano provided general joy, Fritz Fischli with a large repertoire.
From 6 p.m., spaghetti were served.
After lunch, the crowd of visitors to the communal meal was sometimes so large that a whole number had to move under the canopy in the open air. For discreet consumption, the demand was temporarily so high that the expansion was inevitable. The aging population unfortunately leads to increasing care needs. The expansion of the care department was therefore urgent; it will be completed next year. Further structural adaptations to changed needs have already been partially implemented.
A recently received donation of an unspecified amount of 5000 francs was gratefully acknowledged with hearty applause.
The president's festive speech was musically accompanied by the trio Jonas Burki, August Scherrer, and Urs Winzenried.
Many guests came.
Following the subsequent aperitif, an excellent lunch was served, which earned top marks for the in-house kitchen. The attentive and quick service staff were in no way inferior to the kitchen team. At the beautifully decorated tables, the raffle of coffee tickets was visibly enjoyed with joy and appetite.
