Cape Verdean Museum 2nd Annual Golf Classic

The Cape Verdean Museum Exhibit will hold its 2nd Annual Golf Classic honoring George DiPina on Monday, May 16, 2011 at the Quidnessett Country Club in North Kingstown. It will be a modified scramble format. For more information, contact Ron Amado, Chair, at (401) 946-0166 and at pgaproron@cox.net To register, click here.

The Cape Verdean Museum Exhibit (CVME) is dedicated to celebrating the history and culture of Cape Verde and Cape Verdean-Americans. The museum, the first of its kind in the country, was founded in 2003. We are a 501(C)3 institution, defined as a non-profit organization created and operated exclusively for charitable and educational purposes.

The CVME has grown a great deal in the last five years. We have had visitors and donations from all over the world but now the museum has reached full capacity in its current location. Our goal is to keep this momentum of people and gifts flowing by moving to a new home where we can display more of our collection and expand into new areas as a cultural institution. We also feel that this move will allow us to play a larger role in the communities.

We hope that you will partner with us to help facilitate this move and venture while also bringing to light the unity and strength of the businesses in the area that are patronized by the Cape Verdean community. Click here to read the full letter from Denise Oliveira, CVME President.
