- 31 January – Schiff’s Apéo
Our Schiff’s Apéro is held on the last Friday of the month and starts at 18:00. It will be held in the W+ B Common Room, located on the 5th floor of the Schiff in the C Wing. On the top row of the bank of “call” buttons next to the elevator, you will see one marked “Verein Wohnen+ Basel”. Just ring it and we will unlock the door to the left leading to Lift ‘C’. Any problems, just telephone Ingrid at 079 818 13 28. We ask that you please bring your own snacks and drink. We look forward to seeing you!
We organize community events for W+ B members and friends about once a month. When the weather is fine, we take walks in country areas of the Basel Region. Other W+ B events include musical recitals, Apéros and workshops on topics of interest to our members.
