This party was well organized with great food, music, dance, fun, surprises, etc. For the 150 people that came it was worth the trip from Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, California, Virginia, NY, Connecticut, Washington, DC, etc to NJ to take part in this party and get together at the Mediterranean Manor in Newark NJ to meet our people and see the faces behind all the unique, strange or cute names that we see online all the time. Thanks to all the businesses and people that offered the prizes, etc. that made the party more interesting. The greatest congratulations go to all of the people that came, having the courage to get out from behind the keyboards and monitors and came to get linked in our Portuguese way with body heat and a glass of wine taking a break from the impersonal wires and electronic signals. Life is much more than a computer and the internet is A LOT MORE than the Portuguese Chat.
Internet is an electronic tool to be used to learn, advance, teach and unite our people.
It was worth it.
