A brawl broke out a baby shower at Club Luis de Camoes on Porter Street late Saturday night with four people getting arrested, including one juvenile.
BABY SHOWER TURNS INTO BRAWL: A baby shower at Club Luis de Camoes on Porter Street Saturday night turned into a full-fledged brawl that took 20 police officers nearly an hour to quell. Four people ended up getting arrested, including one juvenile. A Stoughton Police detail officer was working the 9 p.m. to midnight baby shower on Jan. 12, when a fight broke out inside the club. The officer called in backup, and at 11:38 p.m, there was a full brawl in progress that had spilled outside the building. Executive Officer Robert Devine told me that the time the incident occurred was of benefit to the police. "We had our midnight shift coming in, so we had more bodies that we'd normally have." Devine said that four officers and two supervisors …

Leandra Andrade, a sixth grader at the O’Donnell Middle School, is fundraising to purchase items for the Evelyn House, a family homeless shelter in Stoughton. There is a fundraising dinner to help the cause on October 15, at 6 p.m. at Club Luis de Camoes.
Jorge Cortizo, the general manager of the Stoughton Target, said he gets 10 to 15 requests a week from different organizations looking for donations, but there was something about a letter that an 11-year-old Stoughton girl sent that resonated with him. Leandra Andrade, a sixth grader at the O’Donnell Middle School, sent a letter to members of the business community at the end of August asking for their assistance in collecting items and fundraising for the Evelyn House, a family homeless shelter right here in Stoughton.
