The Mazarrón Bahiá Lions have recently
had their latest elections with the President
Sid Worland continuing for his second year.
We are now numbering 16 members and are
always on the lookout for new blood.
At the moment all our Table Top money collected
is being donated to the International
Lions Initiative for Measles and our fund has
reached 367€ up to the end of June. This
money will allow the purchase of over 700 injections.
We also collect second hand spectacles
which we send away for recycling to the
Third World Countries and plastic bottle tops,
which are collected to enable a young girl to
go to America for specialised treatment.
In the pipeline we are organising a Barbecue
Garden Party and also a trip to The Grand
Parade of The Romans Versus Cathagenians.
One of our members Andrew Brown belongs
to the Principe Mastia group who will be performing
during the celebrations.
If you are interested in joining the Mazarrón
Bahiá Lions, please contact Nigel Barker
at virginabarker@gmail.com. He will be
glad to give you further details.
Thanks to all of you who have come along
to support Cloud Nine Drama. We love
what we do and being able to donate some
of our proceeds to worthwhile causes is the
icing on the top of the cake.
Our last production of “Gosforth’s Fête”
and “The Fat Lady Sings” was very well
attended and therefore we were able to
donate 250€ each to MABS Mazarrón and
FAST.
Look out for details of our next production
which will be in January 2015 with our Pantomime
- ALADDIN!
If there are any budding singers, dancers,
actors or backstage helpers of all ages who
would like to get involved, please contact
our chairman Paul Macdonald at

In association with Costa Cálida International Radio and www.angloINFO.com
Most of the animal charities are really struggling
at the moment as they are full to bursting
with unwanted, abandoned and stray animals,
mostly dogs and puppies and we, even
though predominantly an Equine Charity, are
no different. Please understand that if we
are unable to take a “found/abandoned”
dog from you, it is because we do not
have the room. We have little room for rescued
dogs, but we do try our best to help and
if you call our answer may not be the perfect
one you want.
This month we have had a bout of Parvovirus
within the puppies that we have taken, which
unfortunately has resulted in the death of two
of the pups. To try to combat this, we have
decided to build a quarantine area for incoming
pups. We have started the “Lana Appeal”
to help raise the 4000€ needed to complete
this.
Parvovirus is contracted by puppies mainly
under the age of 12 weeks, by the pup smelling,
or tasting infected faeces that in the main
is diarrhoea. Therefore I do not have to tell
you the importance of having your new pet
vaccinated. Puppies need three injections
and for another few weeks after the last injection
ensure that he/she does not get exposed
to the virus. Lana one of our pups had
all three injections but this did not save her.
These are some of our dogs looking for
homes:
Toffee and
Treacle are
abandoned
sisters,
aged approx
4mths.
Dobbi and
Teddy are
two of the
three puppies
who were
handed into
the shop last
month (all
contracted
Parvovirus
and sadly, we
lost Harry).
Some long-termers, Domino, Kira, Toc, and
Tetley, who have been overlooked through
no fault of their own - all loving, nice natured
dogs, well deserving of a home and a family
of their own.
We always value your support as without it
we would cease to exist and some animals
would be in a far worse situation. Our hard
work in pursuit of a happy ending never ends
until we have homed all the animals in our
care, so onwards and upwards!
Please visit
us in one
of shops in
Fuente Alamo
or Mazarrón
and feel free
to volunteer
if you have
a few free
hours on your
hands. We
would love
you to be part
of our team!
We accept
donations
of clothes,
books, toys, furniture, household and garden
items, large and small at either shop. Collection
can be arranged for bigger items. I can
always be found at Camposol B car park every
Monday morning from 11.30am-1.30pm.
Have a great Summer!
Love and Hugs
Andrea
