By Herman Santa
On Saturday, May 28th, the members of the “Spanish American Club, Inc.” delighted the palates with fine Latin food and enjoyed great Latin music at the residence of Dana and Mireya Kaiser in the city of Port St. Lucie. The attendees and guests enjoyed drinks, as well as succulent dishes prepared by the members themselves, including meats, pastas, salads, and various desserts, along with lively music performed “live.” Members of the weekly “La Voz” and members of the “Tesoro Colombiano” club also attended. The highlight of the night was the band “Latin Brothers,” who played Colombian music. Indeed, the “Get Together” was well planned, and we had a great time. Thank you, Dana and Mireya, for another joyful celebration.

On Saturday, March 26, the traditional monthly “Get Together” of the members took place at the residence of Iliana Zequeira. Iliana is a fabulous and incredible member, whom all of us who know her love very much, especially at the beginning of the year in spring, when she kindly invites us year after year to the annual meeting at her residence in the city of Port St. Lucie.
The “Get Together” turns into a tremendous party. Iliana greets us with a smile, a hug, and then the cocktails, appetizers, camaraderie, dinner, and dancing begin. We had so much fun and stayed late into the night when the Colombian, Diego Sánchez, picked up his guitar and delighted us with his bohemian music songs. We had a great time with good friends. Thank you, Iliana and Diego, for another cheerful party.
The next activity for the members is planned for Saturday, April 30, at a member’s residence. For those who enjoy dominoes, the club will participate in a domino tournament in collaboration with the Latin Chamber of Commerce of the Treasure Coast on Saturday, April 16, at the “St. Lucie County Fairgrounds.”

Rico and Casta Arnell welcomed us with a hug and then, as is traditional at the monthly meetings, we started with a welcome cocktail. The dinner began with a buffet and concluded with a cake to celebrate the birthdays of the present members. President Enrique Ospina took the opportunity to introduce the new members and guests and announce the club’s upcoming activities.
The highlight of the night was Diego Chiriboga, who played his guitar and sang “Happy Birthday” to the birthday celebrants. To wind up the Get Together, Rico and Casta provided music, and we danced late into the night. The Arnells, as charismatic as ever, ensured that everyone present had a pleasant and fun afternoon. Thank you, Rico and Casta, for lending us your residence.
