Following the success of last November’s fund raising dinner at the Pashmina Indian restaurant in Lagos, two more dates have been arranged for 2010. November’s event was a full house raising well over €1000 for the Madrugada charity established last year to support people affected by life limiting illness.
The next Pashmina night is on Thursday January 21 starting at 7.30 when a special three course meal complete with wine or beer will be served for €20 per person. A generous proportion of this charge is donated by restaurant owner Raman Bhasin, while a raffle and auction provides additional revenue for Madrugada.
The fund raising group, headed by John Moir and Annette Brown, has set up a regular programme for 2010 that includes a karaoke night at the Mirage restaurant in Praia da Luz, a third Pashmina night in Lagos on March 18, a quiz night and carvery at the Duke in Praia da Luz on April 15 and a musical extravaganza during May with venue and dates to be confirmed.
‘Our aim is to build a strong social networking aspect through these Madrugada events where people can enjoy something a little different in good surroundings, make new friends and help support a good cause’, states John Moir.
