Grand Chapitre
St.Petersburg
13-16.10.2016
From Bailli Delegue Henri Everaars
Cher Confreres and Consoeurs, dear Friends,
This year the Bailliage national of Russia is celebrating its
15th Anniversary.
As in 2011, when the Bailliage celebrated its 10th
Anniversary with a commemorative programme,
including a gala-dinner and induction ceremony in the
Golden Theater of Yusopov Palace, as well as the
historical shooting of the canon on the walls of Peter and Paul Fortress, this time we will have prepared a
special programme in St.Petersburg and an optional additional programme in Moscow.
In 2011 the Bailli Delegue of the United States, George Brown Jr, who was nominated as Inducting
Officer by President Yam Atallah, and his charming wife, Elisabeth, with delegation came over to
St. Petersburg. Furthermore we had Chaine guests from all over the world, Singapore, Australia, South
Africa, Libanon, Italy, Finland and other countries.
To celebrate our 15th Anniversary this year we welcome many Chaine members and guests from all over
the world.
An excellent programme has been prepared. The gala-dinner this time will take place in the Grand
Hotel Europe, which celebrated this year its 170th Anniversary, in the historical Europe Restaurant
Room.
For those guests who wish to continue their stay in Russia, an optional additional programme in Moscow
has been organized.
We look forward to warmly welcoming you to St. Petersburg, one of the most beautiful cities in the
world.
Viva La Chaine!
Henri C.J.Everaars
Bailli Delegue of
The Bailliage national of Russia
