ADIMI Mijas is about to host its first Midsummer Day Party and Fair on Saturday, 20 June, from 11 in the morning until 13.30pm at the centre’s grounds in La Cala Hills, near Mijas Golf. The ADIMI centre and other generous-minded citizens have created the event to collect essential funds that are intended to maintain specialist care, therapy, education and support for 25 residents and over 500 children and adults who attend the centre regularly. Long-time La Cala resident Roger Wedge has backed the charity
for twenty years through raising thousands of euros. He has brought together friends, supporters and local businesses to deliver this memorable pre-summer community celebration day. What families can enjoy during the day More than twenty artisan stalls will be selling unique local products throughout the afternoon. Traditional folklore entertainment will feature original La Cala dress and music. Flamenco performances and live singing from Marlene will be there to entertain crowds. Refreshments and family-friendly activities are going to keep both children and adults busy. La Cala
Lions will be providing diabetes prevention information with free glucose tests and advice. Importance of the charity event for local families ADIMI has served as a non-profit organisation since 1999, focused on inclusion, autonomy and a better quality of life for people with intellectual disabilities and their families. Every euro raised at the fair will go straight to daily running costs at the centre. This first-ever summer fair intends to establish a new regular charity event in the Mijas calendar, mixing community enjoyment, resident participation
and support for a wonderful social cause benefiting dozens of families across the area. Previous charity initiatives from local groups, companies and institutions across the province have given backing to ADIMI projects in recent years, while this fair will also be raising awareness of the association’s work in Mijas and increasing community involvement. How to join in and help the cause Everyone receives a welcome to attend the event, enjoy the activities and help generate positive moments for people who deeply rely on ADIMI support
every day. People who want to book a stall, make a donation or help on the day should phone Anne on 607879450. This occasion lets residents discover more about ADIMI projects and strengthens support for important work in the area. Let’s make a big community effort and join in the fun with ADIMI and celebrate their midsummer fair before it gets all far too hot. ADIMI can be found turning opposite Mijas Golf at the Raquetas de Mijas roundabout towards Mijas Hills and left again.
