Mick and Rachel of MIX Bar, Urb. La Marina, frequently organize themed events for their bar and hold charity evenings. In January Rachel began to discuss with her friend, Lisa, what festive days and events the bar needs to organize for the coming months.
February was easy, Rachel had a 40th birthday and of course the St. Valentines Day Mr & Mrs Quiz in aid of K9 animal club. March led the conversation onto having something different on St. Patrick’s Day, that involved the whole community having fun and wouldn’t it be good to raise some funds for some local causes too...ummmm?
The idea of the St. Patrick’s Day Fun Run/Walk was born. Local causes were discussed and the three selected are The K9 Animal Club, San Fulgencio Cub de Cricket and Totally Dane School for children. All entrants can run, jog or walk the 3km on Wednesday 17th March. 3km was chosen as there would be a large proportion of children participating in the Fun Run, from the Cricket Club and Dance School. K9 volunteers are making the walk with some of the dogs they have for adoption. Anyone can participate, from any area…if you would like a sponsorship form they can be downloaded from www.lamarina.info or by contacting K9, San Fulgencio Club de Cricket or Totally Dance and of course they are available from MIX Bar.
The run will start approximately 4.15, anyone taking part, please could you register as a participant from 3pm. MIX Bar have kindly offered all participants free Irish Stew and the Totally Dance School are performing some Irish Dancing after the run.
Everyone is welcome, even if you do not join in the Fun Run but of course…..put on your green clothing, Guinness hats, shamrocks etc and join in the fun….. Irish music and some singing will be on in MIX bar after the event.
