The February BAM monthly lunch was held at the La Ribera restaurant on Thursday 26th February. All who attended were pleased with the event. Many thanks go to Paz and Angret for arranging this lunch. During the meal ASPANDEM was presented with our charitable donation. I have issued a press release, together with a photograph, to SUR in English and the Euro weekly news publications.
