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 pandsmacdonald@icloud.com 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!
