La Cala de Mijas Lions Summer Ball
On a beautiful summers evening, guests at The La Cala Lions Summer Ball enjoyed a glass of cava and canapes on the terrace of La Sierra Restaurant, overlooking the stunning views of La Sierra Golf Course and Mijas, before sitting down to a fantastic three course dinner served by an army of waiters and waitresses, and with wine and beer flowing. The guests were entertained by singer Tony Whitehouse who kept everyone on the dance floor with his great combination of songs.
Brenda Meredith, the outgoing president, gave a short speech to inform guests that during her year as president the La Cala Lions had donated over one hundred thousand euros to worthy causes throughout the area and thanked everyone for their generosity during the evening and over the last year. She then asked Karen Blair the Incoming President to accept the Chain of Office and wished her all the very best for her coming year as President.
The raffle and auction were a great success, thanks to our expert raffle organisers Sandra Tavendale and Julie Barry.
Sandra explained to the guests and members that the flower arrangements on their table had been donated by Valentin Wedding Flowers. Earlier in the evening an envelope with their name had been given to the guests asking for a five-euro donation. One envelope from each table was chosen and the lucky winner got to take the beautiful arrangement home.
At the end of the evening Brenda was overwhelmed when she was presented with the most enormous bouquet of beautiful flowers and thanked her Lions colleagues for the gift.
Overall, it was a brilliant and successful evening for La Cala Lions and their guests. The event raised over 2400€ which will be used by the Lions to continue helping deserving causes throughout the area.
