XABIA VIVA CONTINUE TO HELP IMPROVE JAVEA
Thursday 15th December 2011

It's going to be  busy weekend for XABIA VIVA. After the success of the clean-up operation of Cala Sardinera back in October, the group  will be clearing rubbish from the slopes of the Santa Llúcia hill on the morning on Sunday 18th December. According to president José Buigues, the association had received the suggestion to clean the climb to the ermita of Santa Llúcia  from several neighbours in the area and a brief recce confirmed that there were indeed several points where rubbish has been piled up. Therefore it was decided to undertake a clean-up campaign of an important part of Jávea's heritage.

Although the activity is to be achieved in association with the town hall's Department of Environment, Buigues stressed that Xàbia Viva "under no circumstances" wanted to replace the responsibilities of the cleaning contractor for whom all Xabieros paid "good money" but merely wanted to "cover their shortcomings". Therefore, the campaign is to cover the route of the "Senda del Portitxol" climb to the ermita which has difficult access for the vehicles of the cleaning services.

Those wishing to assist Xàbia Viva with the clean-up operation, a valuable contribution to the town's overall appearance, should meet at the Plaza de la Constitución at 9:00am on Sunday 18th December.

On the evening of Friday 16th December, XABIA VIVA will celebrate its AGM through which it will present the balance of activities that have taken place through 2011. The association was created through a desire to defend the historical, cultural and environmental assets of Jávea and, after the legal formalities such as the presentation of reports from the President and the Treasurer, the meeting will allow the association to explain how they aim to achieve such an objective and how they are funded.

The XABIA VIVA president, José Buigues, invites all its members as well and those looking to join this young and dynamic project to participate in the AGM which begins at 7:30pm (Primera Convocatoria) and 8.30pm (Segunda Convocatoria) in the meeting room of the Soler Blasco Museum, the entrance to which is in Carrer Major opposite the town hall "Area Económica" building.
