Lions roar

ON Thursday, November 17 the La Cala Lions held their gala dinner at the Connoisseur restaurant in Riviera, attracting 40 people to enjoy ‘a taste of India.’

Tucking into delicious Indian fare while enjoying the sounds of live sitar music, the fundraising group celebrated their year’s achievements while catching up with fellow volunteers.

Sarah Montalbano, the La Cala Lions vice president, told the Euro Weekly News: “We wanted to do something quite different for our social event this time.

“We wanted to get people together to enjoy themselves before we roll into the Christmas festivities.”

She also spoke about the work the Lions do: “Our main purpose is to raise money for charities and help the community. It’s a very precious community to us and we want to do our utmost to help them in any capacity we can.”

Volunteer Mark Ridler added: “It’s just great to support the people of La Cala and local charities. Lions are the nucleus of all the charities and they give everything back to great local causes.”
