Other participants in the tournament included: Joe Castro, Luis Rosa, Pete Marrero, Wilson Alers, Arnaldo Palenzuela, Argelio Del Valle, Dana Peterson, Ed Finnerty, Dominic Sica, Dave Kniper, Herman Santa, and Lou Alomoth. Attorney Gary Sweet could not participate in the event due to his political campaign. We wish him luck in his candidacy for judge in the Circuit 19 court. Don’t forget to vote for him in the general elections on Tuesday, November 2nd.
The event was organized by the Golf Committee. This year, the committee is composed of Dana Peterson, Leticia Goff, and Herman Santa. On behalf of the Golf Committee, we sincerely thank all our sponsors for their valuable contribution to the golf tournament. We also want to thank the players who participated, as without them the tournament would not have taken place, and a joyful time was had.

With great joy and camaraderie, the traditional cruise trip of the “Spanish American Club, Inc.” took place successfully on Sunday, July 25. It all started when the members arrived at the parking lot of the “Boston Market” restaurant in Port St. Lucie to board the bus that the club rented from “St. Tropez Casino Cruise.”
Exactly at 8:00 in the morning, all the members and guests were ready to celebrate such an important social event, where more than 60 people enjoyed breakfast, lunch, and desserts. The traditional social event, organized by the club’s Vice President, Doña Gladys Piñeiro, was characterized by its organization, order, and punctuality. Over $300 was collected for the club’s scholarship. We must congratulate her on another well-planned activity, and as they say, “We take off our hats” to Doña Gladys.
