License commission to summon Portuguese club over July 12 flea‑market cash‑bar
Summary
The commission voted to bring the Portuguese social club back to the next meeting to review a July 12 event where a cash bar and flea‑market booths allegedly allowed public attendance without proper member sign‑in; police said a floor plan and conditions would be required for future approvals.
The License Commission voted to require the Portuguese social club to appear at the next meeting to discuss an allegation that, on July 12, the club operated a yard sale/flea market with booths both inside and outside and offered a cash bar without following sign‑in or member‑only controls.
Captain Murphy of the Woburn Police Department told the commission he was not initially aware of the event and that enforcement staff would need to review a floor plan and discuss conditions with the club if it intends to host similar events. Commissioners said the situation resembled earlier matters where public invited events were not restricted to members and that the club should come before the commission to explain and provide documentation.
A motion was made and seconded to ask the Portuguese club to appear at the next meeting; the commission recorded the direction.
