The President of Malta, Dr. Eddie Fenech Adami and Mrs. Fenech Adami launched the traditional Ball of the August Moon which will be held on the evening of Saturday 2nd August, 2008 at Verdala Palace.
The President of Malta urged the general public to attend this annual event, the proceeds of which will go entirely towards the Malta Community Chest Fund.
Persons who are in need, patients who require very expensive medicines and relatives who accompany patients abroad for specialised treatment need regular support.
The published financial accounts show that the MCCF distributes more than a million Euros 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 view the uncovered vault painting in the Main Hall of Verdala Palace, where an almost two year conservation project has been completed.
Tickets for the Ball, costing €50 each, are available at the offices of the Malta Community Chest Fund, The Palace, Valletta. For more information one may call on 2124 0568 from 8.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. on working days or on 9949 3110.
