Our Formal Dinner is the final event of the Meetings. Our members and guests have a chance to enjoy our beautiful campus and a delicious dinner but most of all the company of extraordinary people who have given their lives to help our children.

It is a bittersweet moment when the evening comes to an end and we bid farewell to our guests. But, we are strengthened by the knowledge that has been gained at the meetings and reinvigorated to fight the good fight to save our children.
