CUMBERLAND - With the presence of a number of elected officials from both Portugal and the United States as well as more than a dozen former presidents and hundreds of members and friends Clube Juventude Lusitana celebrated its 100th anniversary last Saturday at a dinner held at its main hall in Cumberland one of the most eclectic organizations in the Portuguese communities in the United States as well as several individuals who in recent decades have allowed Clube Juventude Lusitana to become “a cathedral erected in the name of Portugal.” In the program that was placed at all tables the organizers explained what is so special about Clube Juventude Lusitana: “a meeting point a landmark of longing memories of life and of each one that passed through here Today we celebrate one hundred years of all this and one hundred years of members and friends of this member and contributor and director of various Committees and Boards the national anthems of Portugal and the United States were played by the Band of the Clube Juventude Lusitana Alberto Saraiva introduced some of the groups of the club 1988; students from the Portuguese Official School which was founded in January 1929 and made official by the Portuguese government in 1973; and there was still time for a performance from the Cavaquinhos Group The cavaquinho is a Portuguese instrument that almost resembles a

‘Lusitana Sports’ and enjoyed great success in the defunct Luso American Soccer Association (LASA) former Secretary of the Portuguese Communities and currently a member of the national General Assembly He brought with him a gift from the Mayor of Mangualde.    Cesário began by pointing out that the celebration of hundred years of existence is “a historical landmark” because “there are not many organizations in Portugal that reach 100 years of existence this demonstrates that this community is a very committed community and that it has been able to preserve this institution as the great meeting point of the Portuguese who are here.” After emphasizing that Clube Juventude Lusitana “is a meeting point of the Portuguese who are here in this area of New England,” Dr Cesário confessed that “it is fantastic to come here” because when he approaches the club he sees “Penalva Way,” named after a town near his place of birth.    In addition to “meeting here friendly people people I got used to seeing there,” Dr José Cesário said he was equally pleased to “see folklore Everything that is part of Portuguese culture and there is also a certain communion between people from the mainland and people from the Azores which is also a factor of great satisfaction for me.” Cicilline brought a Congressional citation to congratulate the club on the celebration of its 100th anniversary and the Governor of Rhode Island Daniel McKee had words of praise The Governor began by saying that “there are 39 cities and towns in the state of Rhode Island and every community is important and the communities that make up those communities are very important.” “the Portuguese community is such an incredible economic generosity for us in the state of Rhode Island,” something that he learned first-hand “because I grew up with my friends in high school and interacted with this club before I ever was involved in politics So I understood it’s very important and to be here tonight in the hundredth anniversary and all the people that have been touched by this club it’s something to be very proud of.”  Before taking over the state reigns in March And during that period he had the opportunity to participate in various initiatives at the club something that allowed him to see firsthand the impact it has had on communities on both sides of the ocean “The generosity of this club is unbelievable,” the Governor said This incredible generosity came across to him at “the Penalva dinner where we would meet every month and we raised dollars for people who needed help He later went to Portugal with a delegation from the club travelled to Penalva do Castelo and Mangualde and contacted people “from fishing villages and everywhere we went the hospitality was second to none We’ve engaged people here from Portugal who have come to this club Secretaries of State that have come to this club so to me the culture is just significant… we want to make sure that every community counts in Rhode Island but we know how important the Portuguese community is to Rhode Island Also in attendance were most municipal leaders Clube Juventude Lusitana also gave an appreciation award to State Representative James McLaughlin and directors António Farinho José de Oliveira and Cunha and Alberto Saraiva.  Matthew McGarrell was named an honorary member.   The club also gave out scholarships to three future college students about a dozen former presidents were honored receiving plaques commemorating the celebration To put into perspective the importance of the Clube Juventude Lusitana one of the guests for the centenary celebration pointed out that the club is seen “as an example of a club that can do several things So I think it’s an organization that doesn't just represent one thing.. in these activities it has not only students or soccer players from the Portuguese community it also reaches out to other communities and other ethnic groups.” explained that “the Clube Juventude Lusitana is an association of 600 members He acknowledged that in the beginning the members “came together and decided to found a club so they could learn the language and overcome the difficulties that immigrants faced and they evolved as they integrated into the community” and now it is more of a community club for Portuguese and other nationalities.” And from what came across during the celebrations Clube Juventude Lusitana appears ready to walk decisively towards another century The celebrations ended with a performance from well-known artist Maurício Morais Stellantis has announced
