Welcome to
Gaiserwald
www.gaiserwald.ch
Dear New Resident
A warm welcome to our community! We are very glad that you
have chosen Gaiserwald. Surely it was a big step for you to leave
your homeland and move to another country. We hope, however, that you will soon settle down and feel at home in Switzerland, in this case, in our community.
You will find a lot of opportunities to join in sports and games in
our clubs. We invite you to take an active part in community life.
What is needed is only a first small step – take the plunge!
This brochure should further help you with your questions and
problems. You will find here addresses, telephone numbers and
websites of authorities, clubs and organizations in our community. Of course we will be available anytime for further questions.
We hope you will enjoy being with us, and we wish
you all the best!
