Algarve Network for Families in Need Dear Editor, We continue to help families, residential homes and orphanages across the Algarve. In the Lagos area we have been working very closely with The Mustard Seed (the soup kitchen). They have identified many families and people in need of clothes and household items. If you have any clothes, household goods, bedding or furniture you no longer need please get in touch via our Facebook page.
The Mustard Seed is in constant need of funds to provide hundreds of meals every week to so many. The charity has a Facebook page with a map showing where they are in Lagos and other details should anyone wish to donate money. Thanks again to AIM for the storage facility we have. Many thanks to everyone who has given to our network and helped people in need. Yours sincerely, Alison Webster
We are always really pleased to get letters from our readers. If you would like to send us your views on anything that’s going on in the western Algarve or if you have any suggestions to make about the newsletter please email: amber@tomorrowalgarve.com
Lagos Lions celebrate first anniversary Dear Editor, To honour the first birthday of LC de Lagos, the club had the privilege of welcoming the district governor, Snr. Raul Amado, for his annual visit. Other guests from our parent club, LC de Loulé and guiding Lion, Dr. Carlos Nunes from LC de Portimão, and senhora Sauledade Botelho president LC de Vilamoura joined to celebrate this important milestone. Together commemorating our heritage during this centennial year of humanitarian service around the world. After the traditional flag ceremony, the LC de Lagos president mentioned the enthusiasm and motivation of this young club, following a year of fundraising projects by its cosmopolitan members, ready to serve the community and those most in need. As a result of our continuous recruiting, we had the pleasure to induct two British members, Jeannie and David Buckle, who are proud of being part of Lions International, eager to share their skills and
experience for the benefit of the wider Lagos area. Aldeia de Azul served a festive lunch in the exclusive ambiance of their resort after the Lagos’ president welcomed the governor officials and guests. The district governor complimented the fellow members for their dedication, the engagement and fundraising achievements, and expressed his view that the quality of a club is measured by its results in serving.
