On September 30th, Bristol Rotary completed a 2-part fundraiser at the Bristol Sports Club to renovate the orphanage for girls of Casas de Acolhimento Residencial de Criancas e Jovens Nossa Senhora dos Anjos, in San Miguel. Working with the Rotary Club of San Miguel, our sister club, the fundraiser raised over $20,000: $10,000 from the event itself and another $10K matched by Bristol Rotary’s Charities Foundation. The funds were wired after the event and the renovation has already begun.  Congratulations to all who participated.
 
The “Fado Night” fundraiser was a great success not only for the financial results but for the outstanding concert and singing of Sonia Bettancourt, seen below.
