President’s Letter

As we are now only producing the magazine bi-monthly, to keep up to date on club events and organised trips and whatever else is going on at the club, you can checkout our Website www.theiceclub.es or our Facebook page The ICE Club. We have posters printed and displayed on the noticeboards, both upstairs and downstairs and every Thursday morning, I read out and explain our future events at the coffee morning meeting upstairs from 11.30am until about 12.15pm.

After much deliberation, we have decided to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee with an informal gathering on Saturday afternoon, 4th June.

We have had some very successful events over the last few months culminating in Happy Friday Supper with Dancing. This was the first time we were able to dance without masks and we had music by Helena Paul. The event was organised by Lynne Danby.

We have brought forward our annual trip to The lakes to June this year. Heather Moore has volunteered to organise this event for us. See details in the magazine.

It is good that members are offering to organise some events for us. Many thanks to Lynne and Heather. We need volunteers to keep the club going, so if you have an idea for any event and would be able to take on or help with the organisation, please let me know.

HELP FOR UKRAINE

Saint George’s Charity Shops in Cancelada and Sabinillas are liaising with the Ukraine Association of Malaga to provide help for Ukraine.

They have donated clothing and blankets, but in response to requests they are now putting together a load of baby food (no glass jars) and sanitary goods. They have also offered help to any refugees that come to this area, with clothing, food bank, etc., and have set aside Wednesdays as 'Spend for Ukraine' day at our shops, with all takings on that day going to the Ukraine Bank's Humanitarian Fund, if not required directly to help refugees locally.

So how can you help?

-You can visit the Saint George Charity shops on a Wednesday and purchase any of the wide range of clothes, books, household items, etc., that we have on offer knowing that your money will be going to this cause, -Or you can make a monetary donation to the official fund set up by the National Bank of Ukraine www.bank.gov.ua/en/
