THE PRIDE GROWS Linda Hall THESE are exciting times for Vera and District Li‐ ons as they welcome 12 new members to the club. Final figures are now in for their biggest event of the year, the Party in the Park held at the end of May in Ferial el Palmeral in Vera. With 800 tickets sold, over 1,000 members of the public, volunteers, performers, traders and guests enjoyed the wide variety of music on offer and soaked up the sun‐ shine. After an absence of three years due to the pandemic, it was a great way to celebrate being able to stage the event again. Final accounts show that Party in the Park generated close to €6,800 which will help the club to assist people in need in the local community. “Thanks must go to the hardworking volunteers who made it possible to stage the event and to the many performers who gave their time free to entertain everyone,”
