18th Anniversary Charity Dinner
The Resident staff has been raising money all year for the Lar de Crianças Bom Samaritano and is hoping to raise even more at their 18th anniversary dinner at the Hotel Garbe on November 9.
As the residents’ weekly newspaper of choice, our role is to keep you informed of all the latest news in Portugal, and especially the Algarve. However, The Resident team believes we can do more than that.
Over the years, The Resident has been involved in many charitable causes and this year is no different. As well as being a party to celebrate our 18 years of weekly publishing, it is our intention to raise money, through an auction, for the Lar de Crianças Bom Samaritano.
Although the charity has already created an impressive range of facilities for the children in its care, there is still

far more needed to make their lives more comfortable and enjoyable. So please help us to raise enough money to fulfil the children’s “Wish List”.
We will be celebrating in style with a buffet dinner, including a selection of Indian dishes, wine and water and a birthday cake, of course! As entertainment for the evening…
The great classic guitar player Eudoro Grade will provide the perfect background music for you to enjoy the delicious food on offer;
Go back in time with Ray and Sandie of the Saraband Duo and to end the evening in style, Beto Kalulú will no doubt have you dancing to his African beats.
Join us and tell your friends, relatives and neighbours to come along as well!
