First Event – Donor’s Club Friends of the Lions
Date:
October 5, 2024
Location:
El Jinete Restaurante
Last summer, a Lions member, Anita V. started the initiative to form a group of donors for the La Cala Lions called ¨Donor´s Club Friends of the Lions” with the aim to raise money by organizing special events.
In the meantime, another Lions member, Joyce M, joined to help increasing the number of donors and organizing events. At the moment, the group consists of 30 donors.
On Saturday, 5th October the first event for The Friends of the Lions was held at Restaurante El Jinete, Mijas Costa. It is important to let the donors how the donations are used, this is why we invited speakers from two non-profit organizations, DRANG and ACE, who are supported by the La Cala Lions. They told those present what they stand for and how the donations received from the La Cala Lions are used. During a delicious lunch, a raffle and an auction was held. The proceeds of this afternoon for the Lions was 1,000 euros, which far exceeded the expectations of the two organizers.
The guests enjoyed the afternoon and many compliments were given. At the end of
a successful afternoon, goody bags were handed out which was a welcome surprise.
The organisers are already looking forward to planning the next event, and hope it will also be a great success.
