Two lovely “Lions” events took place on the same day in the run up to Christmas, the first being the magnificent Prize Draw held at the Lions Den shop in Moraira on Friday the 21st December where Lions, Den volunteers and expectant ticket holders assembled for an exciting Prize Draw. The assembled throng were treated to mince pies and cava as a prelude to the draw and Lion David Harmer, Den Manager, thanked all those who had generously bought tickets before pulling out the numbers of the prize winning tickets. Only one actual prize winner was in attendance but the other lucky recipients will be contacted with the happy news. The Prize Draw once again proved to be a great success with over 500 euros being raised for the charity and thanks must go to our generous sponsors who donated prizes.
The second event took place at the Santa Maria Magdalena school in Benitachell where the Teulada–Moraira Lions presented diplomas and gift certificates to the winners of each class for excellence in handwriting skills. This event has become known as the Claude Kelly memorial handwriting competition in memory of one of the club’s founder members, Claude Kelly. A very excited crowd of youngsters were assembled in the school gym and the Lions and teachers alike were thrilled by the enthusiasm and level of penmanship displayed by the youngsters. Rapturous applause accompanied each prize winner and once again it proved a very worthwhile event judging by the delight of all involved. By helping to foster a skill that is fading in the electronic age, the Lions are very pleased to be part of the learning process for young people.
