Annual Valentine with Ramón Baéz Orchestra at the Polish American Club

By Sam Del Rosario

The Spanish American Club, Inc. of Port St. Lucie celebrated Valentine’s Day on February 12 at the Polish American Club of Port St. Lucie. Ramón Baez’s orchestra from West Palm Beach entertained the party with a rhythm of cumbias, merengues, and salsas. The club’s hall was beautifully decorated, thanks to the committee that did an outstanding job with the decorations, giving it a very appropriate appearance for Valentine’s Day. The dance floor was spacious, and its wooden floor made the dancers’ feet move with great agility.

Many of the people who did not purchase their tickets in advance were left without entries, as they sold out long before the party. The Board, the committee, and some of the partners, especially the new president, Thomas González, worked hard to make this party a success. During the band’s break, the president, Mr. Thomas González, presented a plaque of appreciation to Mrs. Annie Del Rosario, Editor of Alma Latina, for her selfless collaboration with our club.

A dance contest was also held for the best salsa couples. Our dear friend Luis Sanchez and his wife Elizabeth from Jensen Beach took first place. The second prize was awarded to the beloved couple from Port St. Lucie, Jaime and Consuelo Ferreira, and third place went to Hector and Carmen Iriz Nuñez from Port St. Lucie. The decision was made by applause from the audience. The members and the Board of Directors express their gratitude to the individuals and establishments that donated gifts for the contestants, including Tony Ruiz from Don Ramón Restaurant, Cecilia Vignier from Simply Travel, Susan Tesoriero from Palm Realty, Juan from Auto Repair, Julia Prahl from Prahl Institute, Changes Beauty Salon, Dr. Jerome Perlmuter from Quality Dental Care, and Juan Serra from Crystal Water, to name a few.

The Board of the “Spanish American Club” was surprised to see so many people from different parts of Hispanic America dancing to the same rhythm, speaking the same language, and sharing joyfully. We all enjoyed the Valentine’s party with our family and friends, and many took the opportunity to celebrate anniversaries and birthdays. Our club is very proud of the attendees for their joyful spirit and the support they have given us.
