Sponsored Walk Results and Photographs May 2010 Book Stall One of the Lions Club’s ongoing fund-raising events is a book stall on Moraira Market, 1st and 3rd Friday each month. Look out for us there. We have recently sold the 10,000^th Book, which means 10,000€ the Lions have put back into our Community. Books 1€ each. Gifts of paperback books in good condition always appreciated.

Over Christmas the Lions presented Food Hampers to Social Services in Teulada Moraira to help disadvantaged families during this time. CHRISTMAS DRAW This year the Lions held a Christmas draw with a prize of 500€ to the winning ticket holder. The profit from this Draw went back into the Community to help provide Food Hampers for disadvantaged families at Christmas time. The Draw was sponsored by Piachi Garden Centre, who paid for the production of the tickets. The Draw took place at the Bookstall in Moraira Market on Friday 18^th December, and was drawn by Antonio from Piachi Garden Cenre. The winning ticket was bought by Mrs. Madge Fortune from Bray, Co. Wicklow in Ireland, and very fitting as it was her family who sponsored the printing of the Lions Cookbook which the Ladies of the Lions produced over the summer. Madge Fortune comes to Moraira several times a year, and is a great supporter of the Lions Club. She has asked for the prize money to be kept here until she comes later in the year, and assures us it will be spent in Moraira. The proceeds of the Cookbook were used to purchase a special hoist for cancer patients and pressented to MAB’s.
