Members, friends and guests of A.P.A.Ri.V. celebrated the “wearing of the green” in fine fashion during its fundraising event last night at Lo Pepe Molina’s in Almayate. Nearly 100 people attended the dinner-dance to help raise money for a much needed water system at the refuge. After enjoying a three course meal, the rest of the evening was spent dancing as well as singing to some good old Irish ballards. We had wonderful prizes donated by members, friends and local businesses for our raffle. As a result of the generosity of all who attended and supported the event, a total of 1120 euros was raised! With these funds, our plan to have an adequate water system for the dogs is well on its way.On behalf of A.P.A.Ri.V. and all the dogs at the refuge, we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone. Our very special thanks to Peter Stoner who donated both his time and his talent to provide the music for the evening. We hope to see you soon!

That’s wonderful and sound’s of a lot of fun. The Water situation at the refuge needs to be done urgently, specially that’s starting to get hotter soon.
I’ would have loved to be there with you…… will try the next time. I’m very proud of all of you!
Keep on…..

Hi there,
I was actually at the St Patrick’s Day dinner/dance and had a great time. The food was great, the ambience was amazing, the raffle prizes were fantastic and the music was the icing on the cake. I have to say that I paid the price of dancing too much for about two days after the event !! Just out of interest, is there anyone reading this who has any more ideas for fund raising events ? I´m sure that over the years people must have been to some very interesting and innovative “do´s” so please write in with any suggestions you may have.
Once again, great evening and I look forward to the next one xx
