A Night to Remember: From Tyre to Tripoli
On Friday 10 October, our major annual gala, *From Tyre to Tripoli: A Phoenician Boat Journey*, was a sold-out success, welcoming over 450 guests, more than 16 generous sponsors, and distinguished dignitaries. With vibrant performances, rich flavours, and warm community spirit, the evening raised tens of thousands of dollars — proving that, for those in need in Lebanon today, WLCU Sydney is committed to be their village, their people in their time of need.
