PAWS-PATAS, a local Mojacar animal shelter, extended a huge thank-you to amateur theatre group The Indalo Players for the booming success that was their production of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. The animal shelter, which held a raffle at two of the five total performances of the production, also extended warm gratitude to everyone who donated and helped out, all in benefit of the furry friends at the shelter. ‘Brilliant’ performances by The Indalo Players Martine Shindler, a representative of the well-known shelter, sang her praises for the talented performers and crew. “What can we say, other than it was an incredible performance from all members. Well-acted, well-presented, professional, a truly brilliant story; portraying everything life throws at us – sadness, loss, inspiration, joy, hope, and companionship. And a happy ending, which everyone loves!” Shindler also took a moment to celebrate a great milestone for the shelter’s raffles, which raised a total of €483 for the furry PAWS-PATAS family members. The highly-anticipated event by the beloved local theatre group had been building up excitement for months since its announcement, and had been called by organisers one of the most intricate productions that they have produced in 26 years. Though The Indalo Players are an amateur theatre group, the quality of the performances was anything but, inspiring laughter, tears, and deep-rooted emotion in the audiences. PAWS-PATAS’ upcoming events and initiatives PAWS-PATAS is celebrating the successful raffle, but will soon get right back to business with fun-filled events, charity organising, and active participation. Their next Bingo Lunch Club, which has ramped up in popularity due to its side-splitting hilarity and fun competition, will take place at The Snug in Mojacar Playa at 1:30pm on November 6. For just €10, locals can participate in two full games of bingo, get their choice of lunch, and most importantly, have fun in the barrel-of-laughs bingo event. The charity is also rolling out home checks for the animals, performed by kindhearted volunteers at the shelter. Volunteers can make sure, either through physical or virtual checks, each home is safe, suitable, and full of love before the animals are adopted. “It’s only a small commitment, but one that makes a huge difference in helping our rescues find the loving homes they deserve,” said Shindler. She reminds visitors that they can visit the shelter’s Web site, www.paws-patas.org, to find out more, book events, and help out the friendly animals at the shelter. “All donations and volunteering are truly appreciated at any time and it’s true that we couldn’t do what we do without your kindness,” concluded Shindler.
