Event 2009 (School Supplies)
SACI kicked off school supplies drive
By Herman Santa
The Spanish American Club, Inc. (SACI) kicked off the holiday season with its School Supplies Recollection. In two months the association was able to collect two full boxes of schools supplies for needy children in the area. Because so many children, living on a limited income this time of the year, some members of the Spanish American Club, Inc. saw the need to reach out and formed a committee to collect school supplies to help the teachers and young students.
Kathy Rivera and Mary Figliola started the committee. At the last two monthly meetings or Get Together (Halloween and Thanksgiving parties), they collected school supplies such as notebooks, paper, pencils, erasers, paper clips, crayons, coloring books, construction paper, scissors, etc. The members meet monthly to socialize, eat and dance Latin music. The SACI is a nonprofit organization to preserve the Hispanic heritage on the Treasure Coast. Thanks to those members and non members that made the donations.
SACI recauda artículos escolares El Spanish American Club, Inc. (SACI) realizó el segundo recogido de artículos escolares entre los socios del club. En las dos últimas actividades sociales, la asociación ha recaudado dos cajas llenas de artículos escolares para niños de bajos recursos económicos. Porque muchos niños de familias de escasos recursos están viviendo momentos muy difíciles en estos tiempos navidadeños, algunos socios del club se juntaron y formaron un comité para recaudar artíclulos escolares para ayudar a los profesores y a estudiantes jovenes.
El comité lo formó Kathy Rivera y Mary Figliola. En las dos últimas fiestas del club (Brujas y de Acción de Gracias) han colectado artículos escolares como libreats, papel, lapices, borradores, crayolas, papel para dibujar, tijeras, etc. Los artículos escolares serán repartidos por Kathy Rivera, Mary Fgliola y Nancy Rozon en las escuelas de los condados de Martín y St. Lucie. Los socios se reunen mensualmente para compartir, cenar y bailar. El SACI es una organización no percurnaria para preservar la herencia hispana en la Costa del Tesoro. Muchas gracias a todos los socios y no socios que hicieron las donaciones.
