Box Office Raises €252 From F.A.C.E. Movie Quiz Night.
Once again, the Committee of F.A.C.E. (Fundraising in Arboleas,
Caring for Everone) organised another great night of
entertainment in the form of a quiz with the theme of "A Night
at the Movies"
The quiz was held at the Bar Kubatin, underneath the Hostel
Meson in Arboleas.
The quiz and quiziter of the night was F.A.C.E. Committee Member
Zoe West, who had devised 6 rounds of questions, including
a picture round, a music round, a dingbats round and various
other rounds including Disney, relating to various movies and
movie related trivia.
Eight teams entered the event with between three and six persons
in each team. The Winners of the Wooden Spoon was won for the
third out of four times by the team of "Dusty Boots" comprising
of Eleanor Tolman, Margaret Farmery and Helen Simpson. The
Winners of the event were team "Universally Challenged" made up
of family members Fran and Rob McCann and Claire and Danny
Findlay-Smith. They received €30 plus wine.
In addition to the quiz, there was also a raffle for prizes that
had been donated by some of F.A.C.E.'s supporters and sponsors.
The charity would like to thank all their sponsors on the night.
They were UK Satellite Solutions, The Sol Yoga Centre, Almeria
Bowling Centre, The Angels Nursing Group and the Mini Cinema,
Albox who all sponsored one of the quiz rounds.
The main aim was of course to raise money for the various
charities which F.A.C.E. supports on an ongoing basis. In this

Little Owls Hooting With Delight.
F.A.C.E. (Fundraising in Arboleas, Caring for Everyone)
continued their Summer Season of giving, by donating €500 to the
"LIttle Owls" at the Azabache Hostel in Arboleas, recently.
The "Little Owls" is a voluntary practical support group,
providing emotional and practical support to people who are
living with terminal illness, those who are bereaved, or who are
simply lonely. In fact "Little Owls" will try to assist anyone
who may need help in the Arboleas, Albox and Partaloa areas.
"Little Owls" can provide a listening ear, and also help to talk
through any worries a person might have. The group can provide
information on local services available to those needing further
help, and can also offer practical assistance in the form of
shopping, ironing, and assisting people to visit hospitals or
doctors.
For those that need it, the group can also provide companionship
by dropping in to some one's home, maybe just for a cup of tea
or coffee and a little chat. The group can also provide various
items of equipment such as Zimmer frames, commodes and
wheelchairs on a short term basis.
Finally "Little Owls" can also offer carers a short break from
their caring roles, even if it is only for a few hours a week.
Being able to leave your loved ones with some one you can trust
can make such a big difference.
If you would like assistance from "Little Owls" or just want
more information, please e-mail littleowls@hotmail.es
F.A.C.E. has supported "Little Owls" for several years now
and is pleased to continue this association with "Little Owls"
by making this €500 donation. F.A.C.E. hopes that this
affiliation will continue long into the future.
Should you be interested in joining F.A.C.E., or would like
further information regarding their aims and achievements,
please contact Adele Wrigglesworth (F.A.C.E. President) on
telephone number 667 255 094, or visit the F.A.C.E. Facebook
page or the website at www.face-charity.com.

F.A.C.E. Keep Giving!
Although F.A.C.E. (Fundraising in Arboleas, Caring for Everyone)
have unfortunately had to cancel this years annual Summer Market
which was to have been held on the 1st July, due to
circumstances beyond the groups control, their programme of
donations will continue as usual.
The first of the Summer donations was made recently to M.A.C.S.
(Mojacar Area Cancer Support) at the M.A.C.S. shop in Turre. A
new mobile clothes rail was donated to M.A.C.S President Elaine
Brown and in addition €1,000 was also donated.
The M.A.C.S. shop in Turre was the original shop to open under
the M.A.C.S. brand name. Since first opening, three other shops
in Mojacar, Huercal Overa and Albox, have also opened. F.A.C.E.
has provided support towards the opening of each of the shops.
The long term aim of the shops is to raise enough funds that a
hospice can be opened somewhere within the Mojacar/Almanzora
Valley area, that will be able to support people that suffer
from Cancer.
M.A.C.S already supports many Cancer sufferers throughout the
region by providing home support and advice, transport,
translation services and equipment, and many of its services
are provided free of charge to the patient, so the funds raised
by the four shops are vital to M.A.C.S's present commitments as
well as to it's long term aims of opening a hospice.
The Turre shop is now looking a little tired and needs a little
bit of love and attention. F.A.C.E. have donated the €1,000
towards a refurbishment of the shop, which hopefully will help
the shop to continue to raise funds for Cancer sufferer's.
Both M.A.C.S. and F.A.C.E. are desperate for more volunteeers to
help both organisations to continue their good works. If you
would like to become a volunteer for M.A.C.S. and have a few
hours a week to spare and feel that you could be of use to the
organisation, please call into any one of the M.A.C.S
shops where they will be only to pleased to welcome you and
answer any questions you may have. If you would like to join the
enthusiastic group of Fundraisers that is F.A.C.E. please ring
Adele Wrigglesworth (President) on telephone number 667 255
094. For further information on F.A.C.E please take a look at
their web site at www.face-charity.com
or look at their Face book page.

Scouts
Celebrate 100th Birthday.
Although the Scouts are well known and recognised throughout the
whole world, their presence in this part of Spain is not so well
known about. In fact there are several Scout groups not only in
Almería, but throughout Andalucía. However the Albox Grupo Scout
106 del Saliente is a little bit special this year because not
only is it the only Almería group based outside of Almería
City it is also celebrating it's 100th Birthday.
The Albox group comprises of over 90 youngsters, both Spanish
and English speaking, and their Headquarters is the group of
Rondel Buildings situated below the old bridge in Albox adjacent
to the new childrens park.
This year there will be many different ways in which their
Centenary Birthday year will be celebrated. One of these events
was held on Saturday 23rd April when approxiamately 1,500 scouts
converged on Albox which hosted the XXV Festival de la Canción
ASDE Scouts de Andalucía.
The event was attended by various scout officials and troups
including a British group from the Costa del Sol. Also in
attendance was the Mayor of Albox, Sonia Cerdán, British
Councillor Maura Hillen and F.A.C.E. (Fundraising in Arboleas,
Caring for Everyone).
At the Inaugaration Ceremony F.A.C.E. President Adele
Wrigglesworth accompanied by Richard Tolman, presented members
of Grupo Scout 106 del Saliente with a Birthday present of four
tents. The group was also presented with a Commemorative
Certificate by the British group of scouts from the Costa del
Sol.
The afternoon was full of singing and dancing and enjoyed by all
present. What a great way to celebrate the start of a great
100th Birthday year.
