The Ball of the August Moon is being held at the Verdala Palace on August 1.
The ball was launched by President and Mrs George Abela and all proceeds will go for the Malta Community Chest Fund. Tickets cost 50 euros each and are obtainable from the MCCF offices at the Palace in Valletta.
Dr Abela said the MCCF could not depend just on the annual fund collection campaign l-Istrina since demand was continuously rising. Talks, he said, were underway for l-Istrina this year to take a different format.
Taking part in the ball will be the Armed Forces of Malta band and the Renzo Spiteri Quintet, accompanied by singer Nadine Axisa.
More information can be obtained from 2124 0784 between 8 a.m. and 1.30 p.m.
