Congratulatory visit to Wassenaar’s 28,000th resident

On Wednesday, May 13, Mayor Leendert de Lange paid a celebratory visit to the Esmeijer family. The occasion was the birth of their daughter Lumi, who was born on February 24, 2026, and thus became the 28,000th resident of Wassenaar.

The mayor personally congratulated the family and took plenty of time to get to know them. He had also brought some stuffed animals for the young resident as a warm welcome to the village. In a cozy atmosphere, complete with cake and macarons, a pleasant and relaxed conversation unfolded, centered on the young family.
The parents were particularly pleased that the mayor came by in person to congratulate them and reflect on this special moment together.

Unique

The parents deliberately chose a unique name. The name Lumi evokes freshness, something new, and concepts such as snow and light. A meaning that also ties in beautifully with this milestone for Wassenaar.
