15th Anniversary of the SACI with D.J. “Showtime Entertainment” at “The Grove Clubhouse” in Port St. Lucie

By Herman Santa

On Saturday, June 23rd, the “Fifteenth Anniversary” of the “Spanish American Club, Inc.” was celebrated with great success, where members and guests enjoyed a delightful dinner dance and a lot of camaraderie at “The Grove Clubhouse” in the city of Port St. Lucie. The organizers were the club directors and the Del Rosario family. After dinner, there was a break, and we had the pleasure of hearing from Elisa Rodríguez, the 1995 scholarship winner, who came from Orlando with her husband to share and celebrate our anniversary. Her speech was very emotional and inspiring, urging us to continue with the student scholarships so that other students can move forward as she did. Elisa is currently a bilingual teacher in Orlando.

Afterwards, plaques and certificates of recognition were awarded for the donations made by all the sponsors and collaborators. All the funds raised ($2,000) will go to the student scholarship of the club. The club’s anniversary cake also served to celebrate the birthdays and anniversaries of the members present in June. The event concluded with the raffle of the painting by Lydi Pallares, and the winner was Nancy Rozon. The other prize winners were: Ana Renta (two tickets to the “Latin Chamber of Commerce of the Treasure Coast” for the August festival, Amparo Preciado (two tickets to see the comedians of “Graucho’s Production”), Ron Bryson (a certificate for a haircut from “Jose’s Barber Styling”), and Martha González (a certificate donated by this server for a dinner at “Duffy’s Restaurant”). Finally, we ended up on the dance floor enjoying the vibrant music from “Showtime Entertainment.” I thank everyone for their donations, generosity, and support to make this traditional club event such a success. Truly, the 15th Anniversary was an unforgettable night. Long live SACI!

Recently, the “Spanish American Cub, Inc.” (SACI) awarded $500 to the “Indian River Community College” (IRCC) to assist Vanessa Pelayo from Fort Pierce with her university studies this year. Since its founding in 1992, the club has provided scholarships to 18 Hispanic students from Martin and St. Lucie counties.

As president of the “Spanish American Club, Inc.” and director of the scholarship, I would like to thank the club directors and the scholarship committee this year. They are: Nancy Rozon, Isa Bryson, Fe Vallderuten, Blanca Mireya Kaiser, Sam Del Rosario, William Preciado, Rene Cifuentes, Connie Giraldo-Silver, and Martha González.
