As far as I can see, the first annual reception (January 13) was held for the diplomatic corps. What about the second one (January 15)?

It's been a reception for representatives of the NATO,
Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, NATO Secretary General,
members of the NATO International Secretariat and
military representatives of the NATO have been present.

Wow, what a huge and interesting broche, this dragon-fly-broche! Well, I would like to have one like this, even if it was very small!

I've no idea, I'm sorry, but I guess that one could have been one of the last ones.
