The Annual Charity Dinner organised by the Maltese French Chamber of Commerce was held at Villa Arrigo on Friday 6 December 2013. The event was extremely well attended and was held under the auspices of H.E. Michel Vandepoorter, French Ambassador to Malta and Mrs. Vandepoorter. The event was hosted by the President of the Maltese French Chamber of Commerce Dr Mark A. Miggiani and Mrs Miggiani together with Council Members. The President and Council extended their appreciation to the various guests that supported the event, particularly Mr Noel Scerri, Executive Head Business Relationships representing Bank of Valletta which is a valued sponsor of the Chamber.
The Charity Event raised a total of € 2600 towards Dar Qalb ta’ Gesu, represented by Mons Zammit McKeon, who gave the guests a brief overview of the sterling work carried out by this non-profit organisation. The evening also included a Raffle with prizes generously donated by several members. One original prize was the right to have one’s own portrait painted by French artist Philippe Cavelart. An auction of 3 oil paintings by the ex-Brigadier Maurice Calleja was also held.
