Nick Arnell and Geokazta Zurita conquer the titles of the 2nd Annual Bowling Tournament of SACI

By Herman Santa

The “Spanish American Club, Inc.” held its 2nd Annual Bowling Tournament at the “St. Lucie Lanes” bowling alley on Saturday, November 11, 2006. Nick Arnell dominated the men’s competition with a total of 597 pins over three games (an average of 199), earning the “Diamond” medal. I secured the “Emerald” prize by knocking down 424 pins (141), Juan Carlos Vega took the “Ruby” with 417 pins (139), Xavier Alejandro Zurita won the “Sapphire” with 349 pins (116), Dr. Enrique Ospina finished with 317 (105), and Fauto Fraga placed sixth with 259 (086 average). In the women’s competition, Geokazta Zurita came in 1st place, winning the “Diamond” medal with 241 pins knocked down (80 average).

During the trophy presentation, John Lugo, manager of the bowling alley, received on behalf of Christine Vitolo, the owner of the bowling alley, this distinction, thanking for the recognition and stating that the owner of the bowling alley will continue her commitment to the club to support the annual tournaments aimed at raising funds for outstanding Hispanic students. We did not reach the goal we had planned compared to last year, but I am very pleased that this year we were able to raise a “Chavitos” for the scholarship. This achievement would not have been possible without the support received from our sponsors; Christine Vitolo of “St. Lucie Lanes,” Rae Ann Ospina of “Premier Service Mortgage,” Astrid Mariotti of “Arbonne International,” Juan Carlos Vega of “La Voz,” and Carlos David Rámirez of “Latin News.” Finally, thanks to all the participants who were present for such an important cause, which is the education of our Hispanic students.
