Picnic 2005
Annual picnic Langford Park Clubhouse
By Herman Santa
On Monday, July 4th, the members of the Spanish American Club, Inc. celebrated “Father’s Day” and “July 4th” at Langford Park in Jensen Beach. The picnic is held every year in a park, but this year it took place at the Mike Bocchino Club House. The event was a success, as we enjoyed a good barbecue, desserts, music, and great camaraderie. While some played dominoes, others danced. The children had fun with the “Line Dances.” During a break, the club president, Dr. Enrique Ospina, addressed the audience, welcomed everyone, and announced the upcoming activities.
Rae Ann Ospina won the 50/50. The proceeds from the raffle will go to the “Spanish American Club, Inc. Scholarship Fund.” Thanks to Maite Peterson and Glady Piñeiro for helping to raise the funds. The committee for this event included Enrique and Rae Ann Ospina, Rico and Casta Arnell, Nidia Barraza, and myself, who were responsible for planning the activity. Thanks to Luis Nieves for helping me with the music. We cannot forget Rene, Lila, and Kristal Cifuentes, who assisted us with the barbecue and decoration.

“Get Together” at the beach “Nettle Island Club House”
By Herman Santa
Summer has arrived along with outdoor parties, barbecues, and splashes in the pools. The heat and humidity are starting to rise, signaling that summer is truly here. These are the best days to enjoy the beach. This is exactly what the members of the “Spanish American Club, Inc.” (SACI) did on Saturday, July 23, to celebrate the monthly “Get Together” at the “Club House” of one of the members on Hutchison Island. From the early hours of the evening, Tony Sauco, the homeowner, and his aunt Raquel Medina welcomed the members, as well as family, friends, and guests who gathered at the cabin overlooking the sea on Nettles Island.
El “Get Together”comenzó con un chapuzón, tragos y como siempre con el tradicional buffet y se terminó con un bizcocho (Ocación que se aprovechó para celebrar los cumpleaños de los socios e invitados presentes). Por alli vimos a Dominic Sánchez del programa en español “Nuestra Costa”. Para los que no conocen a Dominic, el presenta sus producciones los viernes a las 12:30 a.m. y los sábados y domingos a las 11 de la mañana por el canal 97 de la compañia de cable Adelfia. Los socios y los invitados disfrutaron de una divertida noche que les quitó el estrés a muchos con los tragos, aperitivos y música. La cena, la piscina, la playa y el ambiente estuvo sabroso. Gracias Tony y Raquel por otra gran fiesta.
