The Welcome dinner
Tulips Ball Weekend
May 2019, The Hague
It's Friday afternoon, 5 p.m. The international guests of the Tulips ball are arriving at the restaurant at the coast of The Hague. A warm welcome to all. Most guests are friends of each other. So a weekend at the Tulips ball is a weekend of celebrating friendship. Clemens, the founder of the Tulips ball told me: The Tulips ball is for old & new friends.
