John Stanwood performs regularly at the Portuguese American Club, in particular as one half of the music duo Rosie (Guerin) and John. Recently, he took on a new role: he helped design a stage for the club.
Before the Portuguese American Club was formed, before its cozy bar in suburban Oak Bluffs was built, there was just the Holy Ghost Society and a parade.
At a grand opening Saturday afternoon, leaders at the food pantry and Island Grown Initiative gave tours of the new facility at the Portuguese American Club in Oak Bluffs.
