The presentation of Lady Aimée and Sir Celso about the 35 years of existence of the Bonn Chapter was well received by the audience.

The Stuttgart Marquardt Chapter presented Sir Celso with a commemorative t-short to show their appreciation for his untiring support to the ideals of Rizal, Knights of Rizal in general and to all chapters in Germany.

Everybody was enthralled with the lecture of Sir Lucien Spittal on Rizal's relationship with the two Suzannes.
