Calpe & Benissa Lions Club Description:

LIONS CLUB INTERNATIONAL

The Calpe and Benissa Lions Club is part of an international Lions network of 1.3 million men and women in 202 countries and geographic areas who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world. Beginning in 1917, the association of Lions Clubs has provided millions of people with the opportunity to give something back to their communities.

When Helen Keller addressed the Lions International Convention in Cedar Point, Ohio, USA in 1925, she challenged them to become "knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness". From this time, Lions Clubs have been actively involved in in service to the blind and visually impaired, working to end preventable blindness. The International Sight First Program works to eradicate blindness. The Lions also collect and recycle eyeglasses for distribution in developing countries.

The Lions Clubs International Foundation is helping Lions serve the world. Donations provide funding in the form of grants to financially assist Lion's districts with large scale humanitarian projects that are too extensive for Lions to finance on their own. The Lions Foundation aids Lions in making greater impact in their local communities, as well as around the world. Through LCIF, Lions ease pain and suffering and bring healing and hope to people worldwide. $100,000 was provide by the LCIF to eaase the plight of Costa Blanca communities due to the Gota Fria of 2007.

Grants provide both immediate assistance following natural disasters and long-term diaster relief for reconstruction efforts. Grants help preserve sight, combat disability, promote health and serve youth.

Supporting the international programs outlined above are a part of the aims and objectives of the Calpe and Benissa Lions Club.

Even prior to the official Charter, the Calpe and Benissa Lions approached and were granted $10,000 to provide potable water and blankets from the LCIF to cope with those affected by the Gota Fria along the Costa Blanca. The many fundraising events include the UK Youth Brass Band and many other concerts, Quizzes, a Flamenco Night, Sponsored Swims, Christmas Fayre, Fashion Shows, Tea Parties at the Iris Gardens at Marnes, Punch and Judy Puppet Show and Jazz on the Beach.

Lions beat the weather!

After the torrential rain storm which swept across the region on Monday, it looked as though the Calpe and Benissa Lions Club might have to postpone their annual Tea Party in the Gardens of Marnes.
But, thanks to the amazing efforts of Christine Lomer and Nick Brown, the owners of the Garden, channels were dug, ditches cleared and the flood waters dispersed before the first visitors arrived on Thursday.
 
Over three hundred and fifty guests enjoyed the scenic drive to Marnes, which is situated in the hills above Benissa and as they entered the garden, they were greeted by a carpet of iris in full bloom and in every colour possible. After a gentle walk in the sunshine, everybody enjoyed a cup of tea and delicious homemade cakes.

And the result? Over €2700 were raised which the Lions will use to buy essential food and clothing which will be distributed to those most in need by the Caritas branches in Calpe and Benissa.

For anybody who missed the event, the gardens will be open to the public until the end of May ( information at iris-lomer.com ) and those planning their next outing with the Calpe and Benissa Lions Club should be booking their seat at the Fashion Show and Luncheon at Restaurante Puerto Blanco on 17 May, when Boutique Carol and the girls will show a selection of glamorous summer outfits by well know designers including Joseph Ribkoff, Frank Lyman, Pause Cafe and Adini (Information and tickets on 96 583 4852).
