Mazarrón Lions collecting food and presents for children in the Christmas run-up

THE LIONS Club of Mazarrón Bahia have had a busy run-up to Christmas, joining in with the relief efforts to ensure that local families can also enjoy the festive season and their children not suffer too much from the economic situation in which so many families find themselves this year.

The Lions have been participating in two main programmes: the Carrier of Happiness appeal, which aims to collect `presents for local children and were able to bring some happiness to 225 children with presents being given to Mazarron Social Services and Cruz Roja for the children they support. The Lions will also be delivering a further 100 presents with the help of Papa Noel at a special event on the 22nd December.

The second project was “ Operational Kilo “ held in the Consum supermarket on Camposol Sector B. This aimed to collect dry foodstuffs which can be distributed to local families in need and the Lions were delighted and grateful with the public support of everyone with both these appeals. Cruz Roja en Mazarron were thrilled that we were able to give several deliveries of food to help in their support of the families of the Mazarron area.

The Lions also had an urgent appeal for milk and juice during December and it was decided that The Lions Club would purchase these necessary items to help in their support in these difficult times. Cruz Roja are always grateful for any non- perishable items.
Moving forward into 2013, the Lions will be holding an evening of entertainment with a Country and Western Theme Night dancing to the fabulous Brady Bunch. Tickets are available now for the evening at Marano´s Restaurante on Friday 25th January 2013.

Can you help the Lions?
Do you have any unwanted items of Bric a Brac or books etc for us to sell at our weekly stall held every Friday at Camposol B in order that we may continue with our work.
As always The Lions of Mazarron Bahia would like to thank everyone for all their support. We could not do it without you

Our grateful thanks to you all, “HELP US TO HELP YOU”
And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!
