Annual Mardi Gras D.J. music at the residence of Chuck and Sandy Coughlin

By Herman Santa

You don’t have to go to New Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras.  On Saturday March 27th, the members of the Spanish American Club Inc. (SACI) hosted a Mardi Gras Party at a private clubhouse in Jensen Beach.  Beginning with a cocktail at 6:00 P.M. followed by a delicious dinner and then at 7:00 P.M. as planned with D.J. music, the members and their guests enjoyed an evening of fun, colors, food and music until late in the evening.  There was a full buffet Latin stile with salads, dessert and coffee.  The room was beautifully decorated for the occasion.   Everyone enjoyed the party.  Music provided the final touch in what was truly a good Mardi gras party.

During a break, the Board presented Marisol Gómez, one of the winners of this year scholarship, the raffled the door prizes, the Fifty Fifty and held the hat dance contest.  Winners of the door prizes, hat dance contest and 50/50 were: Virginia Feliciano (Door Prize), Isa Bryson (Door Prize), Rose Brancaccio (Door Prize), Coleen Gagkowski (Door Prize), Karen Diamond (Hat Dance Contest) and Linda Manzanares (50/50).  The members and their guests having their birthdays during March Fe Vallderuten, Rose Brancaccio and Tito Delgado were asked to come up and stand near the cake and the D.J. while the rest of the members sang “Las Mañanitas” when the D.J. played the song.  Thank you Chuck and Sandy for hosting the party.
