"AHA" Night

A “special” shout-out to No Problemo's (check out their WEB page) for their hospitality at last night’s “AHA” event, downtown New Bedford………….. and to the  New Bedford Whaling Museum. (check out their WEB page)

 

The Grupo Folclorico do Clube Madeirense S.S. Sacramento performed and was, as usual fantastic.

A great time had by all!

Madeira Feast....Not just a great celebration!

Its so great to see this new content.  I am so proud to be part of an organization that has done so much good for so many people and organizations, both locally and abroad!  Utilizing the power of the internet will strengthen those good works! 

The feast in August is obviously the most recognized activity of the Club but, I am continually amazed at how much more the Club does behind the scenes all year long!  Hopefully this site will connect more people to those works so that together…
