GSM Movie Night - Zoomania 2

The GSM Laternenlauf is back! For those not familiar with this tradition, the origins include the story of Martin of Tours, a Roman soldier who shared his cloak with a cold beggar on a winter&rsquo;s night. This story offers an opportunity to talk about kindness and generosity with our children, and is also a time for our community to gather, sing, and spend time together. Make a lantern at home and then join us to enjoy a musical walk in the neighborhood while illuminating the street with our lanterns. <table align="left" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" fr-original-style='outline: none !important; border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(29, 34, 40); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; float: left;' id="isPasted" style='border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(29, 34, 40); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; float: left; outline: none !important; empty-cells: show; border-width: medium; border-style: none; border-color: currentcolor; border-image: none; box-sizing: inherit;' width="100%"><tbody fr-original-style="outline: none !important;" style="outline: none !important; box-sizing: inherit;"><tr fr-original-style="outline: none !important;" style="outline: none !important; box-sizing: inherit;"><td fr-original-style="word-break: normal; outline: none !important; color: rgb(32, 32, 32); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: left; padding: 0px 18px 9px;" style="word-break: normal; color: rgb(32, 32, 32); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; text-align: left; padding: 0px 18px 9px; outline: none !important; min-width: 5px; box-sizing: inherit; user-select: text; border: 0px solid rgb(221, 221, 221);" valign="top"> </td></tr></tbody></table>
