2017 Charity Calendar on sale
The 2,000 copies of the 2017 solidarity calendar is once again available to buy for a token 5€ donation. This is the 12th calendar in this series that Andy Ormiston has been able to produce thanks to the support of sponsors Alamo Costa Blanca Inmobilaria, Atlas Seguros, Aroca & Sequier abogados, Currency Direct and Mapfre (Brithol) Insurance.
Every year there is a theme and in 2017 it is dedicated to la Bella Lola as an homage to the women of the area. There are over 70 photos in the calendar, many donated by local photographers Raquel López Martinez, Joaquin Carrion, Fernando Guardiola, Javier Francisco Torregrosa, Nicolás García Villalgordo, Tomas Ortiz Mendiluces and Phil Friar. Once again Andy Ormiston has done the research and his friend Carlos Garcia prepared the layout.
La Bella Lola calendar is full of information about fiestas in the region and each page has a section outlining these, although the main fiestas and bank holiday, not only in Spain, but in the U.K. and Ireland, are noted.
As many of you know extra pages are usually devoted to culture or fiestas and this year it’s dedicated to those who bring the international language of music into our lives.
The calendar has notes in both English and Spanish and the monthly photos have a caption in both languages which is a reflection on women’s involvements in that particular month.
It makes an ideal Christmas gift and is on sale from over two dozen associations who benefit by being able to keep the sales money as the printing and the sponsors cover other costs.
After, the presentation three donations were made from the main sponsors Aroca Sequier and Currency Direct. Three associations, HELP association of the Vega Baja, AFA and Caritas benefited from a cheque of 3,200€ each.
The calendar is available from many local outlets but if you have a problem finding a calendar then contact Andy Ormiston at

Help Outlet Relaunch
Last month saw the relaunch of HELP Murcia Mar Menor's enlarged outlet at the Oasis Centre, Los Alcazares.
The outlet which has been open a year urgently needed more space as, due to the generosity of the general public, the staff were having to carry large items of furniture in and out of the outlet every day and display them under the canopy to allow space inside for trading. As luck would have it the property behind the original outlet became available and with a lot of hard work and a few minor alterations HELP's outlet is now four times the size it was.
The reopening was carried out by Robin Bayliss HELP's long
time treasurer who will soon be retiring after many years’ service to the Charity, meaning that it urgently needs someone to take over the treasurer's position. Most of the committee, along with many HELP members, attended the reopening and it is hoped that the enlarged premises will make shopping at the outlet more pleasurable for the general public.
The committee would like to thank everyone who donated their time and energy into getting the outlet ready for the re-opening.
They would also like to thank the general public for their donations and continued support of the Charity. Your help allows them to help others who need it in the Murcia region.
For more information about HELP M.M.M. please visit their office at Calle Penelope, Los Narejos or contact them on 96 857 0059 Monday to Friday 10am to 1.30pm or enquire at the outlet in the Oasis Centre Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 2pm. All are welcome.
