the Malta Community Chest Fund. The donation was presented by Joseph FX

Valletta
, at The Palace,
Valletta
.
President Fenech Adami expressed his
gratitude towards the Bank of Valletta and stated that the Malta
Community Chest Fund can only help those people who seek its assistance
through such donations.
BOV Chairman, Joseph FX Zahra said that
the donation to the Malta Community Chest Fund was the result of the
generosity of BOV’s customers. “It is encouraging to see how the
cents donated by customers through collection boxes at BOV branches add
up to a considerable donation which the Malta Community Chest Fund can
use to help those who are most in need,” said Mr. Zahra. The Chairman
also made special reference to the Cents for Charity Scheme which the
Bank operates. Through this scheme, customers agree to have the 'cents'
in their account balance automatically transferred to the Community
Chest Fund's account at the end of the year. Mr. Zahra said that BOV
again appeals to its customers to participate in ‘Cents for
Charity’, making a donation for a maximum of 99 cents, once a year, in
aid of the Malta Community Chest Fund.
The donation presented was funded from
collection boxes at the BOV branches in aid of the Community Chest Fund;
the last presentation was made in the year 2002. It also includes a sum
of Lm2000 representing funds collected through the ‘Cents for
Charity’ scheme as well as a donation made by BOV.
