SPANGLES’ RAPID GROWTH MEANS RAPID ACTION!

Spangles Ladies Harmony Chorus celebrated their fifth anniversary in December 2009. Having started with just five ladies, Spangles now has 44 active members and continues to attract new ladies to the chorus every week. Their success, however, means that they have now outgrown the risers that they stand on to rehearse and to perform and they need to buy some bigger, new ones from the UK, which will cost in the region of 7,000 €

With this in mind, they have launched a big fundraising campaign for 2010, so that they can place their order by Christmas this year and are organising many fun events throughout the year, from a Car Treasure Hunt to shows with ABBA Elite and The Everlys in Los Alcázares. A full events list can be found on their website: www.spangleschorus.com or you can call 968 432 525/968 334 527 for full details if you would like to take part.

The Car Treasure Hunt is the first major event and will leave Centro Municipal Las Claras, Los Narejos at 11.00 am on Sunday, 21 March, ending with a menu del dia at a local Spanish restaurant. Entry is just 3€ per person and the prize is a menu del dia for two.

They are also looking for sponsorship – you can sponsor a riser step for just 100 € and a plaque with your name or that of a loved one will be added to that riser. Alternatively, you can donate online at http://www.spangleschorus.com/?page_id=1423 . They are also adding an Auction Page to the website, where members of the public can sell good quality items and donate 10% of the proceeds to Spangles. If you have something you would like to auction, contact the above numbers or email: spangleschorus@gmail.com
“We’ve got lots of ideas for fundraising” says Musical Director, Gail Grainger “And, after just three weeks, we’ve already raised over 300 € just from selling oranges, and home-made cakes and preserves at our weekly rehearsals. We have such an enthusiastic chorus and with the public on our side, we’re optimistic that we can achieve our target by the end of 2010.”

If you’re looking to make new friends and enjoy singing, why not visit Spangles when they rehearse at Las Claras? They meet every Thursday from 10.30am to 1.00pm.
