U3A Jávea,
Help DAMA
and ABBA?
During their AGM in March at the
Parador Hotel the members of
U3A Javea were addressed by
the new President of Help of Denia and Marina Alta, Candy Wright,
who explained about the facilities
and services Help DAMA provides.
Candy outlined her ambitions to
expand the services offered by
Help DAMA to start new support
groups for Alzheimer Carers and
for Stroke Victims. Candy introduced her Vice President, Catherine Pérez Pinto, who is a member
of U3A Javea and co-ordinates
Help DAMA activities in Javea.
U3A Javea President Stephen
Burke explained, “each year the
members of U3A Javea choose a
local charity to benefit from their
fundraising activities and Help
DAMA has been chosen for 2015.
Although not primarily a fundraising organisation, throughout the
year our members support and
hold events to raise money for the
chosen charity which also benefits
from any cash surplus generated
by the major annual social events.”
Stephen announced that the next
major event is the U3A Javea 10th
Anniversary Ball on 5th June at Salones Carrasco in Javea for which
tickets are now available.
“I am delighted that we have
managed to secure Abba Elite to
entertain us” he said. Abba Elite is
acknowledged as the foremost live
tribute to the world’s favourite pop
group recreating and performing
all of those classic hits. It will be an
amazing evening from which the
proceeds will go to Help DAMA.
After a Cava reception, there is a
gourmet four course meal with two
starter and three main course options and coffee; with wine, beer
and water available on demand
and free of additional charge, until the dessert course is concluded. After that enjoy the live musical entertainment provided by
Abba Elite. Experience an excellent evening at a bargain price of
only 35€. Tickets can be ordered
