Following the formal business of the Divisional Conclave, the assembled Knights enjoyed a well‑received lunchtime menu of French onion soup followed by a two‑meat salad, a simple but satisfying meal that provided exactly the refreshment needed after a busy morning.

The occasion was marked by fraternity, courtesy, and a shared commitment to the values of the Red Cross of Constantine, making it a memorable day for all who attended.
