Christmas came early once again to Moj\u00e1car last week, when the town\u2019s Dames in Spain association held their traditional Christmas carol concert and charity fair, packing the venue with standing room only..<\/p>\n

\n

The 3rd Age Salon at the Centro de Usos M\u00faltiples was once again provided by Moj\u00e1car Council, which has become the stage for this popular event that brings together different cultures and nationalities, united by solidarity and Christmas traditions. Festive music, carols and stories, with a chance to meet up with friends on a day where the Dames and other organisations sell all kinds of goods in order to raise funds. Asprodalba and its Director, Ignacio Mart\u00edn Cuadrado, was joined by some of his students on their stall selling crafts made by school. A team from MACS was also there, a well-known Association that carries out such commendable support work with those suffering from cancer as well as their families.
\nOf course, there is always the big raffle that everyone looks forward to, which had many fantastic prizes donated by local businesses. This year the star prize was a magnificent television, courtesy of this year\u2019s event sponsor EuroWeekly News, who also work closely with the Dames in Spain on their charity projects.<\/p>\n

The Moj\u00e1car Town Band took to the stage with a medley of well-known Spanish and British carols followed later by a round of hits from the popular singers, Tony Justice and Lady Ellen.<\/p>\n

Association President, Carol Threlfall, presented the event along with Moj\u00e1car Councilor Mar\u00eda Luisa P\u00e9rez, giving thanks to the many people who had come along to give their support. The Dames also thanked Moj\u00e1car\u2019s Mayor, Rosmari Cano, as well as Mar\u00eda Luisa for coming along to the concert every year, as well as collaborating with their initiatives to promote the much appreciated work they do in the area.<\/p>\n

Dames in Spain Moj\u00e1car, currently has over 60 members who are mostly British women living in the town and, for three decades they have dedicated their time to raise funds that are distributed amongst deserving charities and causes. Longstanding member, Ann Marshal added that, although the road that the Dames have travelled over the years has seen many changes, the spirit and enthusiasm remains the same as it did with the first founders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
