VW Golfers THE Golf 50 Anniversary Drive, organised by Gaston Westphal of Classic Car Club Mallorca, promises to be an exhilarating journey for motoring enthusiasts. Scheduled for Saturday, March 23 at 10.30am, the event will celebrate half a century of passion for the iconic German marque. Participants can expect a scenic drive, culminating in a delicious three-course lunch at the picturesque Restaurant Ca N Josep Ca Vostra in Port de Pollenca at 2.00pm. At €40 per person, with a small additional fee for non-members, the gathering not only offers a feast for the taste buds, but also an opportunity for petrolheads to indulge in the car’s rich heritage. Due to limited seating, interested parties are urged to book promptly to avoid disappointment. This occasion is an opportunity to blend the love for cars with the joy of community.
Charity volunteers with donations for Ukraine.
IN an inspiring act of community solidarity, the Cala Nova Cancer shop in San Agustín has made a significant contribution to aid efforts in Ukraine. Volunteers, including president Angela McGrath, have gathered a staggering 33 oversized rubbish bags filled with unsold winter clothes and foo-
twear suitable for men, women, children, and infants. This generous donation marks the change in the shop’s seasonal collections, moving from winter to spring. As Mallorca welcomes the new season, everyone is encouraged to visit the shop at 354/356 Ave Joan Miro to discover spring
arrivals and support future charitable initiatives. The items collected were destined for Amar Ukraine, initially based in Arenal, now expanding its reach to Calvia to aid those affected by the crisis in Ukraine. Donations don’t stop at clothing, there’s an urgent call for donations of babies’ nappies, as well
as unused medication. These necessities are critically needed and can be dropped off either in Calvia or directly at the Cala Nova Cancer shop for collection. This initiative not only supports Ukraine in its time of need, but demonstrates a strong commitment to global solidarity and local cooperation.
