The new (and latest in a long line) Mojácar business association ACEM kicks off tonight with a dinner and sundry speeches and attractions. The association is - according to Teleprensa - a balanced mixture of local and foreign members that work in commerce, service and hostelry. The president is Karen Schröter and the vice-president is our very own Bartolome Flores, who was the PSOE mayor of Mojácar during the first half of the nineties.
The aim of the group is (quote) 'to work together in the defence of our businesses and to encourage the political institutions to become more active in supporting and encouraging the wealth created by local small business'.
To this end, we have another group which might help, the Mojácar Positiva association which wants to create a 'voting block' of European citizens to influence a chosen political group towards local business and, above all, tourism.
The ACEM has a webpage under construction at www.esmojacar.com. The association has the unreserved support of Spectrum Radio, somebody called Jon Gaunt and, of course, The Weenie.
