Age Concern, Estepona and Manilva, Donation from The Duquesa Society of St. George
The President of Age Concern was recently delighted to receive a very generous donation of 600€ from The Duquesa Society of St. George who hosted their 2012 dinner at The Cortijo Vizcaronda in Duquesa on Saturday 21st April. The Society were particularly thankful to John and Henry, the owners of The Cortijo Vizcaronda, and their staff for looking after the guests so well. The evening’s entertainment was performed by Trevor Brooks and Michelle Daniels. The event was organised by Dean Shelton from the Foreign Residents Department of Manilva, and appreciation must also go to Jan Mitchell, who put in a lot of time and effort helping Dean, and also obtained donations for the charity raffle prizes. Thanks must also be given to Lesley and John from the Jolly Sailor who donated some of the raffle prizes, along with Dean Shelton. The evening was a great success and the Society was pleased that such a donation could be made to their chosen charity, Age Concern, who will be using the money to support the work of their volunteers assisting older people in the community.
