Arenal Deportiva Lodge Celebrate

Chinese New Year 2025

(The year of the Snake)

 

On Saturday the 20th January, 65 Brethren, Partners and friends of Arenal Deportiva lodge No 65 met at Sabores II restaurant in Moriara to celebrate (an early) Chinese New Year 2025.  It was a cold wintry evening outside, but inside the restaurant, a warm convivial atmosphere ensured that the party got into full swing. The menu had been specially selected by Florence (Li Fung Ha) Johnson to suit all tastes and requirements, and with a fabulous raffle draw and the auction of a hand made Dragon (soft toy) over €800 was raised for lodge and charity funds. Each guest received a ¨Lai See¨ packet containing a lucky coin – albeit of the consumable variety, it truly was a case of ¨Kung Hai Fat Choi¨ – A Happy New Year for everyone.

Masons Give a 3 Kings Surprise

 

Masons from the Provincial DANA Relief Committee were thrilled to visit the 3 families we are helping and deliver toys and gifts ahead of the 3 Kings celebrations.

We presented gifts and toys to the seven children from the three families in advance of the Three Kings’ Day celebration. These gifts were generously donated by friends and families of Old Tower Lodge No. 49. The children, aged two to seventeen, reacted with genuine delight with tears of joy at their unexpected presents, a heartwarming experience for all present.

Santa´s Little Helpers!

Santa´s Little Helpers!

 

The members of the Provincial DANA Flood Relief Committee were delighted to attend the last day of term at the CEIP El Rajolar primary school in Aldaia, the town in the flood disaster area where we have been concentrating our relief efforts.  5 Brethren, RW Bro Rodney Bignell PGM, and W. Bro´s, Matthew James, Peter Johnson, Sergio Pereira and Chris Ward, all suitably attired, were welcomed by the Principle and teachers. Toys and sweets have been donated to the relief fund by Lodges, individual Brethren, the Costa Blanca Golf Society and most importantly, Provincial Royal Arch Chapter who donated the majority of the toys. The children range from 2 years to 11 years and each child will receive a lovely gift from the Masons of Valencia at the 3 Kings celebration.  The brethren were also able to visit each classroom, and hand out small toys to the exuberant delight of the assembled children, and the ¨masonic elves¨ were working flat out to keep up with demand.  It was a wonderful joyous occasion, and once again the delight on not only the faces of the children but the teachers, staff and the indeed the masons themselves was incredible and made a very special day to end the school year, in an area where so much tragedy has occurred.

Ps. We all decided it was best to give out the sweets at going home time (didn’t want a sugar rush as well)
