THE LIBRARY could not function without the dedicated team of volunteers who help to keep it running.

They give freely of their time and work tirelessly behind the scenes on tasks ranging from recording the ins and outs of books and DVDs, data entry for our books and DVDs databases and maintaining our beautiful gardens and looking after the fabric of the building.

Once a year we like to say a big thank you to our team of men and women through the annual Library Volunteers Lunch, which this year will be held at the Hotel Masaru, La Paz, on Thursday, March 7.

To that end, a raffle is running in reception to help meet the cost of this once-a-year event. So please be generous when buying tickets to help us make it a successful occasion.

HOT ON THE HEELS of the Volunteers Lunch comes one of our most popular social events of the year, the Annual Pig Roast, on Saturday, March 16, starting at 2pm.

It’s an event few of our members want to miss, so please book early at the Treasurer’s Desk to avoid disappointment. Tickets are €17 per head.

This year, in addition to the usual delicious roast pork, Canarian potatoes, various salads, there will be entertainment and you will be very welcome to join in the singing.

Naturally, there will be plenty of liquid refreshment to keep the vocal chords well lubricated.
