By Herman Santa
A great number of members of the Spanish American Club, Inc. (SACI) attended Sunday, August 6, the Annual Picnic at the Langford Park in Jensen Beach. The picnic started at 12 P.M. ended at 6OOp.m. Many members and their guests enjoyed the ethnic food, music with good company.
There were some members that we haven’t seen for a long time, like Judge Gary Sweet and his wife Liz. During the party, we also learned that Rico and Casta Arnell are moving to Cincinnati, Ohio to be closer to their family. We wish them the best of luck. We’ll miss them very much.
Among the people attending we saw Laurie Ehler who is candidate for Circuit Judge and gave proof of her Spanish knowledge when she addressed the audience to invite them to vote. At the picnic, SACl’s scholarship winner Myriam Fernandez from lndiantown was present with her family.

On Saturday, June 24, Bill Shaw opened the doors of his magnificent residence to celebrate the monthly meeting of the members in the “Four Rivers” community in the city of Palm City. We had a great time, chatted with old friends, met new members, and savored the delicious buffet made up of various Latin dishes prepared by the members themselves, enjoyed the rich dessert, and ended up dancing to the music provided by Raquel Medina. As usual, at the monthly member meetings, joy, camaraderie, and delicious snacks reign. Thank you, Bill, for planning the party and for lending us a little corner of your residence.
