Age Concern, Estepona and Manilva Press Release – 3rd April 2010
Age Concern, Estepona and Manilva, Foreign Residents Day
Foreign Residents Day enables local associations and organisations to show local people what they are all about. Age Concern is no exception and will be present at the Palacio de Congresos, Estepona on Sunday April 18th running two stands. One will be selling teas, coffees, and produce of all kinds. The other there will be running a tombola and also selling items of all kinds , including clothes. To make the event a huge success we need your support – both in making produce to sell, running the stall, or simply coming along to support our worthwhile cause. We need cakes, biscuits, quiches (always a great favourite), pies, sausage rolls…., anything edible! If you can help in any way contact us now on 951318234 and leave your details or email tonyaldous55@yahoo.co.uk.
Age Concern, Estepona and Manilva, Sponsored Walk
Shortly after the Foreign Residents Day, Age Concern is holding a sponsored walk. This will be taking place on Sunday May 2nd. There will be two walk options – an easy river and country walk of about 4 kilometres, and a mountain track walk to the ruins of the Castle of Nicola which will take about 4.5 hours return. Both walks will start at Laguna Beach, Estepona – the harder walk starts at 10.00, the easier one at 11.30.
All walkers will receive a reflective jacket and water, and plenty of marshals will be on hand to guide people on their way. As well as the walk a photographic competition will be held (snaps of the walk), you can buy lunch at Chiringuito Crusoe or simply bring a picnic to eat on the beach, and throughout the afternoon there will be music, fun, and games!
All that’s needed now is you – either as a walker or as a sponsor. Interested? Then contact us either on 951318234 and leave your details, or Richard on 952 913174, or email tonyaldous55@yahoo.co.uk. All monies raised will go towards supporting our volunteers working in the community with older people who need our help.
