Congratulations/News: if any of our Compadres and Comadres have news that you would like to post on the monthly bulletin, please contact President Antonio Teixeira or Secretary Manuel Luciano da Silva. Please see the contact information at the top of the bulletin.
Menu change: some Compadres and Comadres had asked if it would be possible to change the menus from the participating restaurants. What are the suggested meals? Restaurant owners, what do you suggest as a different meal choice? We need collaboration on both ends. We can make changes beginning January but we need to make sure we are on the same page.
Entertainment: We are going to have an East Providence group at our December “Ceia” to provide us with entertainment for the evening. Bring another family member or friend who has not been to our supper.
Our Christmas Gift this Year
This year’s Academy’s Christmas gift to our Compadres and Comadres will be a deduction in cost for the December “Ceia”. The charge for each person will be $12.00 person, discount of $10.00. This price will be also for any of your friends or guests you may bring with you. Where can you have a meal like this for only 12 dollars?!
Gaspar And Miguel Corte Real came to New England in 1501 and 1502 and neither ever returned to Portugal. The third brother Vasqueanes C. R. wanted to come looking for them, but King Manuel I did not give him permission. Fernando Pessoa, the greatest poet wrote this poem about the drama of both brothers;
Este poema, escrito por Fernand o Pessoa, descreve o do Gigante Adamastor que Vasco da Gama teve que enfrentar no Caminho Marítimo para a índia!
