Welcome

Hello everyone and welcome to our new blog! My name is Jacque and I am the administrator of this blog. I am looking forward to providing you with information about our wonderful hall and all the exciting things that take place there. The hall is a beautiful building with wonderful history and it is our pleasure to share it with you. We use the hall for fund raisers which help support the financial needs of preserving the building as well as rent it out to the community for events and gatherings. I will be keeping you informed about our fund raisers, when they occur and how you can help out if you desire. I would love suggestions for things to post about the hall as well as other interesting things about activities involving the Portuguese heritage, if you would like to contribute any ideas you can contact us at nphainfo@gmail.com. In the near future I will be posting information about the NPHA, its meetings and events, also info on renting the hall and whom to contact to do so. Thank you for dropping by and thank you for checking out the Newcastle Portuguese Hall blog.
