Many thanks to YOUNG GOLFER and Michelle who made sure we benefitted from a house clearance in Las Carabelas, a much needed boost to our coffers at this quiet time. He even carried some things himself!!!! (should have taken a photo), Many things have sold, however we still have pictures, bedside cabinets, curtains,and bric a brac. If anyone is having a clearing out of any kind, the Live Arico charity shops will be more than happy to recieve ANYTHING, thanks again Stuart and Michelle (and new occupants of said property) xxx:love::love:

Why does it matter if the person running the shop is Spanish, Chinese, HIndu or American? Confused?????

You could tell them a lot of Spanish live here.............does it matter anyway? what matters they are all trying their best to raise money for their dogs that no-one else wanted.

lookin back yes i did, it did not infer anything , just that Claudia cannot be contacted via the forum. We have many Canarian supporters that want to help in any way they can. The shop is busy with local trade and spreading the message of responsible dog ownership throughout the region, this can only be a good thing x

I'm not criticizing or saying anything about nationalities, I just said she was Spanish so people understood which shop I was referring to.

I'm referring to this quote as from top of page

San Eugenio - Opposite La Niña Hotel, up the walkway by Amandas, Complex Las Carabelas. Manager Siobhan (Forum member caroletenerife)

For a member of Live Arico to NOT mention another shop, I and many others , are wondering if its an official one. No one would like the thought of someone using LA name to raise funds if they shouldn't be. And if they are recognised, shouldn't they be listed as an official LA shop in the opening posts? Get my drift?


LOCATIONS

Costa Silencio - On the road side in front of Coral MAr Square, next to the Coral Bar. PLUS 'FRIENDS OF LIVE ARICO', in Coral Mar Square

Sorry, I put the original post on in May, when there was just three shops, since then there is also another friends of Live Arico shop opened in Playa Isadora (think that is how it is spelt???), no doubt Sue will be on with an update of who is running them and hours of business etc etc x

I dont involve myself with the shops, but we do have two "Friends of Live Arico" Shops, one in San Isidro and one in Silencio. Both are only recently opened. Debbie, our treasurer oversees the shops, but is offline and the moment. She says:-
"The situation of the LA shops is this. Currently we have €2700 tied up in rental deposits on 2 shops (normal business practice, most landlords will not make exceptions, even for charity). Our average income from the shops is €4000 per month, we pay out €1400 in rents, €100 in utilities, and €30 insurances, making an average total of €1530. This represents 38% of the income. Bearing in mind the €2700 tied up in deposits would pay for 4 months of water usage at the refuge, it is a prudent idea to have FOLA shops. Why? Because the way this works is someone else takes responsibility for the shop, they pay the deposits, rent, all costs, and pay us 50% of the profit. We are lucky to have many, many donations of items to LA, and for instance we have at the moment 23 large boxes of winter clothes. These do not sell so well in Silencio, Los Cristianos and San Eugenio, however the new FOLA shop in San Isidro is doing good business with those items (its cold up there, lol) So, instead of items sitting in boxes for potentially years they are now selling and we are receiving money for them instead of taking up valuable storage space. We are regularly offered furniture that we do not have the space to accept (unless of high quality when we can put them through the Auction Rooms), but the lady in Silencio can accept these bulky items so again, we receive money for items we would otherwise have had to turn down. All in all, it makes sense."

As asked for previously, where in San Isidro is the FOLA shop?

Hi Timmy, the FOLA shop in San Isidro is up the main high street and take a left at the ( I would say) the main roundabout...the one by the small church on the right. So, take a left at that roundabout and go down that road and the FOLA shop is up a one way street on the right hand side, but the one way is against you, so you need to take the road to the right after it and then right again and that'll bring you to the correct road. The shop is up this road (http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=28.07891,-16.560135&spn=0.003129,0.005681&t=h&z=18&vpsrc=6&layer=c&cbll=28.07866,-16.559865&panoid=bZzbmZkKbe7xsuW_R8ug8w&cbp=12,315.56,,0,10.26), but as I say this is one way and against you. Thanks for your donation.

Live arico dog refuge charity shop in los cristianos is going to need new volunteers from end of march.. Lots of our lovely winter volunteers are going home to u.k. then.

If you can give a day or even a morning, to help out in the shop please pm me.
Its lots of fun, you meet some real nice people & no experience is needed.

Plus you go home each day knowing you have helped to feed some of our 400 dogs in the refuge.
It does help if you a little bit mad! as most of our volunteers are... but its not compulsory ...
A variety of jobs include sorting through donations, pricing goods, serving customers, chatting to people about the work in the refuge.
Come & have a chat with us were friendly !! l
