Picnic 2022
The Spanish American Club, Inc. Annual Picnic
By Herman Santa
The Spanish American Club, Inc. members celebrated their annual picnic at Jensen Beach Park on Hutchinson Island on Saturday, April 30. While some enjoyed the beach, others played volleyball, dominoes, danced, and celebrated their birthdays.
After the cookout, the members and their guests celebrated birthdays of Carlos Mejía, José Garcia, Lucy Santa, Herman Santa, Aida Veléz, Carlos Bonet and Yolanda Pereira. The winners of the 50/50 raffle were, José Ortiz, Anthony Basilone and Mirta Ocasio.
As usual, all of this was made possible through the hard work of our Board of Directors: President, Carlos Bonet; Vice President, Al Feliciano, Treasurer, Josie Guadalupe, Secretary, Evelyn Carrillo; Public Relations, Vivian Megaro; Director, Nancy Rozon and Substitute Mary Figliora, the picnic committee, and other volunteers.
The nonprofit organization from Martin and St. Lucie counties was founded in 1992 and it is the oldest social, civic, benevolence and sport organization on the Treasure Coast. The mission of the club is to promote friendship and solidarity among its members and other nonprofit institutions of the Treasure Coast through cultural, social, and civic activities and to promote the knowledge of the Spanish speaking countries, their geography, history, art, and folklore.
Next event of the club has been scheduled for Saturday, May 28th to celebrate our Annual Mother’s Day Dinner Dance. For information about the club, please contact the new president of the club, Carlos Bonet at: c.bonet@aol.com.
