PALS

Happy New Year to you all. PALS events started with a splash with some 23 intrepid souls braving the cold wind and water on New Years day supported by some 400 cheering onlookers. Well done! We are still counting the sponsorship money which ranged from 12? for a spur of the moment plunge to an astounding 901?. Your certificates are available from 626 460 465. Please call to arrange delivery. We also held a musical evening at Kennelly's with The Gecko Brothers and Kaylou; a great evening; thanks everyone.

The trolley dash was won by a PALS committee member who has donated the contents of his dash to the Old Folks Home in Mazarrón - more about this when we actually present the goodies to the Home. We are constantly amazed at your generosity and announce yet again increased receipts in 2007. Please be assured we will spend your money effectively to augment the Health and emergency services in the area.

We have a couple of events coming up and February brings a fun Beetle Drive at Rumours on the 8th.
St Valentine's Dance at La Siena on the 14th.
Race Night at Rumours on the 21st.
29th Feb we have a cracking trip to The Wine Museum at Bullas, visiting Calasparra and ending with a lunch at Caravaca all for 20 Euros.
Book early tickets from Sheila on 968 138823 or our usual places.

CAFE News. It is pleasing to see that the impetus grows with private individuals and organisations having their own events. In order that we may recognise these, please advise either PALS or Lions International where and when and how much has been raised. The bank account is monitored by our two organisations and we are planning some joint efforts ourselves, watch this space.

Come and join us at any time.
