OPR - Friday, 13th July 2007

President Eddie Fenech Adami today launched the traditional August Moon Ball to be held on the evening of Saturday 4 August, 2007 at Verdala Palace.

The President urged the general public to attend this annual event, proceeds of which go entirely towards the Malta Community Chest Fund.  Persons who are in need, patients who require very expensive medicines and relatives who accompany patients  who need to go abroad for specialised treatment need our support.  The published financial accounts show that the MCCF distributes around half a million liri annually.  The collection of such funds is through various activities which are organised by MCCF throughout the year.

Those attending the Ball will be able to see the progress achieved in the restoration of the Paladini paintings in the Main Hall of Verdala Palace.

Tickets for the Ball, costing Lm20 (€ 46.59) each, are available at the offices of the Malta Community Chest Fund, The Palace, Valletta. Dress is black tie.  For more information one may call on 2124 0568 from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm on working days.
