Caledonia Lodge makes a donation to Age Concern.
As part of their support of local charities, the Masons, Caledonia Lodge 68 were pleased to make a donation of €1,280 to Age Concern Costa Blanca Sur at their Centre in La Siesta
The donation was to purchase another hospital bed & ripple mattress for people who need a hospital bed to ensure comfort at home whilst the patient is confined to the bedroom.
The beds are loaned out (for a donation) to people who are in need of help.
The cheque was presented by the Worshipful Master, John Lonsdale to The President of Age Concern, Malcolm Winstanley.
The donation was gratefully accepted as hospital beds are in constant use

Javea 40’s ‘Dinner Ladies’ support local Autism Association
The wives and partners of the members of Javea 40 organise regular social and fundraising events and call themselves the ‘Dinner Ladies’. Last week they visited the Asociacion Autismo Javea and presented the Director, Rubén, with a cheque for €250 raised at one of their recent dinners.
Javea 40 and the Dinner Ladies have had a long association with the Asociacion Autismo. The WM of Javea 40 has made it his preferred charity and the Lodge and Dinner Ladies will continue with their support over the coming year.
Pictured, left to right, are Dinner Ladies Margaret March and Teresa Tillbrook, together with Rubén from the Asociacion Autismo.

On Sunday, 26th May, Old Tower Masonic Lodge held a charity fund-raising event billed as ‘Club Tropicana’.
The Caribbean-styled afternoon complete with surfboards and grass skirts kicked off with cocktails and entertainment provided by the fabulous ‘Project Duo’.
The Provincial Grand Master, Rodney Bignell and his Lady, Jeanette joined along with over 50 other Ladies, Gentlemen, and Brethren for a fun afternoon which included a fantastic Hawaiian-styled buffet, wonderful desserts, dancing, and refreshments.
Our special guests were Alexandru Petricean, President of Reach Out, a charity based in Torrevieja helping the homeless, hungry, and poor of the community. Alex and his senior team were welcomed by our Charity Steward, W. Bro Alan Clarke, and our PGM.
A big thank you to Mrs. Janet James for her wonderful catering skills that kept us well fed, Alan Clarke for the imagination and planning of the entire event, and the whole team for their efforts in turning Sociedad de Compass into Club Tropicana, which raised 800€ for local good causes and Masonic charities.
