In co-operation with the regional newspaper "Wochenblatt Chiemgau" we realised on July, 10th the first bavarian calendar-sheet in the history of our project. The "Wochenblatt" called its readers to participate as amateur model and 15 guys sent their application. Two of them, Herbert (24) from Trostberg and Mario (44) from Traunstein were selected by the jury and invited to the shooting that took place near the picturesque monastery of Seeon. Both were extremely nice and natural guys that acted in a very professional way and will be proud representants of Bavaria in the coming up edition 2011. A big thank to You both and to Axel and Juergen from the "Wochenblat" for the perfect preparation work.
Handing over of donations and Cover Shooting for the new Edition 2011.
On June, 17th 2010 the association MEN IN THE ALPS was proudly handing over two cheques of 5,550 EUR each to the two organizations DEBRA (Butterfly children) and PRO POSITIV-AIDS-Help South Tyrol. The presidents of both organizations were very thankful and addressed a warm thank to the whole team of MEN IN THE ALPS, the models and those who buy the calendar, so, to sustain their work. With 11,100 EUR we gained a new donation record!
The handing over ceremony took place on the "Baumann-Hof", a famous and traditional inn at Signat near Bolzano. Here, we shooted also the cover for new edition 2011. Following the general theme, "Culinary delights", the landlady prepared tons of delicious "Krapfen" (sort of doughnuts) and became the secret star in the middle of our attractive amateur models.

MEN IN THE ALPS goes Catwalk.
Lorenz Mayr, Bolzano's sales manager of the fashion label Pal Zileri, is one of our most important supporters. Therefore, the amateur models from MEN IN THE ALPS are always ready to present the newest collections on the catwalk. Happened so in September in the Palais Campofranco at Bolzano where the latest Fall-Winter-Collection of Pal Zileri and LAB where shown. And in November followed the presentation of the new wedding suites collection at the "Marry me"-Fair (MaretschCastle, Bolzano). As return favour the association MEN IN THE ALPS got a big donation for its charity work. A very special occasion to make party was, the 30th birthday of Lorenz Mayr. To supporting MEN IN THE ALPS Lorenz Mayr refused to any gifts and invited his guests instead to give money to our association. A warm thank for this! And, again, "Happy birthday!" from the whole staff of MEN IN THE ALPS.
Happy birthday, MEN IN THE ALPS! Five years of erotic charity.
On October 1st, 2009 we celebrated our birthday with a small charity event at the Café Raiffeisen in Bozen/Bolzano. For the big success we would like to thank all the participants that donated money for our charity-project. Furthermore we would like to give a warm thank to the organizing team (Immi, Barbara and Christl) and to the entertainers Barbara Zanetti and Sepp Messner-Windschnur that gave us unforgettable moments performing a happy and contemplative musical programme.
