The Lions Club of Brussels Heraldic annual Christmas dinner at the Medicis Restaurant on Friday 11-December-2009

We were also celebrating the success we've been having so far with our store in the Christmas Market in Place Dumon, just behind the Medicis restaurant.  It's as much a success in the amount raised ( € 2000) as well as the fruitful collaboration with our sister club Lions Charlemagne. 

Here's President Terry making a sales pitch...

Anyway, back to the dinner.  In addition to the delicious French cuisine, we had a chance to hear the story about FACE's operation 'on the ground' in Cairo.  FACE is the organisation we supported with our 2009 Splash.  The story was told by Dominic and Ailsa Kelleher, who visited FACE during their wedding anniversary trip to Cairo. 

Here's a photo Dominic took of some of the staff members in one of the orphanages helped by FACE:

The evening was marked by the success of auctioning off some authentic German cookies and stollen cake brought over by Carmen's dad from Aachen.
