Togetherness fuels generosity in the community

Marco’s Café in Arroyo de la Miel was the lively community setting for the handing over of two sizeable cheques on Thursday, June 19. 

The Benalmadena Ladies Group loves to meet at this meeting place, while their other halves play walking football just a few kilometers away. The Fuengirola 96 masonic lodge members raised the money for two important local causes over a period of several months.

First up was María Belén Fugardo and Nuria Herrera from El Vuelo de las Libélulas, the Benalmadena-based organisation which works with approximately 150 economically marginalised families in the town. They gladly received a cheque from the lodge for €500 to help towards their vital work. Next, Pat Jay, president of the Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support Group (ADSG), who also gladly carried off another cheque for €500.

Ann Knowles from Fuengirola 96 Masonic Lodge was the recipient of this award. She has been receiving help from ADSG in conjunction with her husband who suffers from Alzheimer’s. Ann Knowles, who has been tireless in her work for charities such as Las Libelulas and was not able make it to the Benalmadena Ladies Meeting on that day, but she was highly praised by everyone.

Costa del Sol residents never fail to do their best for those less fortunate.
