At the moment a big red nose can be seen flying over Lake Constance. It is flying as an ambassador for the charity project "Red Nose Day 2003" (http://www.rednoseday.de) which is raising funds for children's organizations world wide. The symbol of this charity organization is the red nose which are sold in many places. More than 1.10 EUR of the 2.00 EUR price directly goes into the helping organizations.
The Deutsche Zeppelin Reederei is helping this fund raising in a very special way. For the first time the nose cone of the Zeppelin "Bodensee" was painted with a red nose. This Zeppelin can be seen flying over the Lake Constance area until March 14th, 2003. Passengers and visitors can buy red noses in the check-in area to help the children.
For two of the Zeppelin tickets you can bid on www.ebay.de. The full amount of the bidding will be passed on to the "Deutsche Kindernothilfe e.V." for further distribution. The bidding will end on March 20th, 2003.
