Every year, the Rotary Club of Lagos organises one of its most anticipated events – the Sardinhada Solidária. Held at Chico Zé restaurant in an atmosphere of great fellowship, it aims to raise funds for its projects.
More than 90 people attended this year, including a representative of Lagos Town Council, the President of São Gonçalo Parish Council, members of the International Social Group of Lagos and members, friends and family from 12 Rotary clubs in the Algarve and Lisbon.
All diners were enthusiastic about the quality and quantity of the sardines, the welcome sangria and the excellent music by Carlos Azevedo that brightened up the event.
New friendships were made through informal conversation and it was with great affection that the club also celebrated the birthday of the founding member of the Rotary Club of Lagos, José Cortes. He founded the club 44 years ago, together with João Moreira, Inácio Rodrigues and others who are no longer with us, with the aim of serving the community.
The Rotary Club is very grateful for the help of Chico Zé, who donated the space and the sardines and Pingo Doce supermarket, who offered the missing ingredients at a discount. Due to these benefactors, the event raised 2,007.66€, which will be given to CASLAS and NECI.
