Shameful

I just wanted to take a few minutes to express my support for the "Casas do Benfica" in the U.S. and Canada, that had made special preparations to welcome Luis Felipe Vieira, in order officially open up their doors to the many Benfiquistas spread out through out the North American continent, and were forced to cancel.
As you may have read, Luis Felipe Vieira cancelled his trip to this part of the world because of the H1N1 virus(aka swine flu), and his doctor's recomendations.
All of the plans and funds these organizations had spent to prepare these special days have all gone down the drain.
Not a very good move on Vieira's part, who has often benefitted from Luso American/Canadian investors for cash injections into the club. It's a shame that the president couldn't have dealt with this situation in a different manner.
My empathy goes towards the gentlemen who took time from their lives to organize these events, and to the many who contributed financially to make these supposed special days, truly special, and are now feeling that the club has turned their back on them.

Meu Caro,
Foi com imensa pena que ouvi na rádio que o Nosso Presidente não iria estar nas Casas na América a conviver com os Benfiquistas.
Ouvi um presidente de uma das Casas a falar nos valores gastos e são abismais!! Desde catering, publicidade, hotel, limusine, etc, e avisar à última da hora... não foi nada bonito.
A razão que consta por aqui, foi que o médico não o aconselhou a ir... não sei.

Forte Abraço
SEMPRE CONTIGO BENFICA

Trata-se de uma tremenda desfeita para quem investiu o seu dinheiro, e principalmente o seu precioso tempo para organizar um dia inesquecivel para muitos fieis que adoram o clube a muitos kms de distancia. Espere-mos que o Sr LFV nao se esqueca desta divida que fica por pagar.

Um Abraco para ti Amigo
