Elegance and Merriment at Age Care Summer Ball

By: Age Care Association

Under a beautiful Andalusian sunset, the ACA Summer Ball got underway at the romantically set Valparaiso restaurant in Mijas.

Elegantly attired attendees arrived to cocktails, cava and canapes by the pool. Amongst the very special guests attending were members of various local organizations such as the Lions Club, Masonic Lodges and F.A.M.A. animal rescue.

A four course menu, deliciously presented by the Valparaiso staff, demonstrated the talent of the chef’s versatility for fine dining.

As the festive lights on the summer patio began to glow, the voice of opera singer Pedro Barientos filled the air.

Laughter and dancing continued to the early hours of an unforgettable evening.

John Greaves, ACA fundraiser, with wife, Judith, and ACA Charity Shop Manager, Beverley Moreland, with husband, Kelvin, wish to thank all those that contributed and assisted in helping to bring to the public’s attention the very valuable service that Age Care Association offers to the coast’s English speaking community.

Our Spanish registration number is 6282 – CIF – G92487602 (Registro de Asociaciones de Andalucia). The majority of our work is helping older British people living in the Province of Malaga, but we do not exclude other nationalities that speak English. We provide welfare information, practical support and two help lines (Telephones: 691761088, and 655903182). The Association also has a hospital and home visiting team. Other volunteers visit people in Care Homes when necessary. As part of our work we have repatriated some individuals to the UK, where there are more caring facilities and access to benefits unavailable in Spain. Some of our volunteers have had careers in nursing, education, psychology and other caring professions and are accustomed to listening in a sympathetic and kind manner. We work closely with the British Consulate, Royal British Legion, and branches of the International Lions.
