Associação Obrigado Bombeiros’ successful first music event this May raised €2,250. This amount, together with €1,000, raised from the weekly quiz nights held by the Associação at the Quinta Bar in Figeirinha, near Silves, has been donated to the Silves Fire Truck Appeal, to help fund a new vehicle for Silves fire station.
The A-May-Zing live music extravaganza was held on Saturday 18 May at Carvoeiro Tennis Club and was generously supported by the many musicians who performed and by all those who participated by attending and buying raffle tickets on the night. The event was sold out!
Associação Obrigado Bombeiros would like to thank musicians Murphy and Friends, Meadowsweet, New Moon, The Evidence, Althea Brown, Ivan and Company and Tomé Band & Beto Kalulu, and event sponsors Carvoeiro Clube de Tenis, Dos Santos, Flyboard Experience, Hexagone Restaurant, Harrys Bar, Smilers Bar and Ben & Jerry’s Ice cream, without whose support the evening would not have been possible.
The event coordinator Jackie Meadows commented: “It was a truly A-May-Zing evening where everyone joined in, dancing to great music and enjoying excellent food in a vibrant party atmosphere.” She continued: “One of the high spots of the evening was the arrival of Silves Bombeiros with their newly purchased fire truck. It was wonderful for our supporters to be able to view the truck they had helped to purchase, sit inside it and talk to the fire fighters.”
Associação Obrigado Bombeiros has already planned its next event, which will be a golf tournament with lunch at the Pestana’s Gramacho course in Lagoa on Saturday 6 July. To take part phone (+351) 965 628 998 or email rui.gago@pestana.com. Check the Facebook Page for more details.
