About Portuguese Instructive Social Club

In 1922, a group of Portuguese residents in the city of Elizabeth launched the idea of founding a Club that would not only facilitate the meeting and strengthen the friendship of the Portuguese residents at the time in the city, but also honor and dignify the Portuguese colony in the United States. The Portuguese Social Club was born.
