On Sunday 31st of May, the La Cala Lions Club held its summer charity fair to welcome the warmer weather. The event took place in La Butibamba Park and featured musical performances, food and a second-hand market.

It was a day of socialising, entertainment and,  solidarity, during which the club raised funds to continue its charitable work. “Today there are numerous shops and other associations from Mijas collaborating with the Lions by setting up stalls, supporting the wonderful work they do”, said Mario Bravo (PP), councillor for Foreigners, a department that once again collaborated with the group, as did the Local Police.

 

Club member Caroline Lloyd, recalled that “the money we raise through activities of this kind allows us to help, schools and sports groups. We have a list of people who need some form of support, and we are delighted to do our bit wherever necessary”. According to the group’s president, David Kay, “since the La Cala Lions began 26 years ago, we have managed to raise just over 1.5 million euros for various charitable causes”.

Bravo also took the opportunity to “thank the Lions Club for everything they do for the people of Mijas, and for the foreigners who struggle to integrate due to language barriers, acting as a bridge to healthcare and our community”.
