Swinging success for AECC fundraiser
Moonlight Serenade lived up to its promise: we had great music of the Glenn Miller era from Rommy Baker Big Band, we had some swinging music from Swingtet in the interval and we were joined by dance group “Swing Peaks” who took over the dance floor area in front of Alfaz Casa de Cultura. These young Spaniards professed themselves ‘delighted’ to dance to real live music and rather than limit themselves to a handful of numbers they had chosen from the musical programme they danced to every one. Many of our older residents took up the challenge and joined them which kept them warm when a slight un-June-like chill in the air crept in later that night.
With approximately 350 people present, there was a great and with various nationalities who came from other costa towns as well as locals, their generosity generated a good sum for the national cancer charity AECC and the Alfaz volunteers association -presentations are still to be made.
The local AECC branch thanks the town hall for all their help, the volunteers from Amas de Casa and the Companians and others who sold raffle tickets and kept “crowd control”. Many thanks also to famous local artist Goyo Perez who donated one of his original works as the raffle prize and to donations from other supporters including €1000 from Gary of Giving4Giving.
