Christmas 1994
The Spanish American Club, Inc. celebrates its Christmas dinner.
By Herman Santa
The members of the Spanish American Club, Inc. gathered on Saturday, December 17, at the Community Center in Port St. Lucie. This is the club’s second Christmas party where members, family, and friends donated toys for children from low-income families. The toys will be distributed in Indiantown, Port St. Lucie, and Fort Pierce. The members showcased their culinary specialties by bringing exquisite dishes to celebrate the holiday party. The delicious roast pork was a highlight. Immediately after the meal, they celebrated the birthdays with a cake for our president, Tom González, and our dear member, Kino Vélez, who both have their birthdays on December 22.
After dinner was over, the president welcomed the members and guests and addressed them, among other things reminding them of the New Year’s party to be held on December 31 at the Jensen Beach Women’s Club and the General Assembly to elect the new Board of Directors on January 29 at Don Ramón restaurant. We all had a great time dancing to the lively musical rhythms provided by the members.
The Board of Directors thanks the members for the donation of the toys, which will bring a bit of joy to the children who otherwise would not have had a small Christmas gift, and for all the support they have provided us throughout this year. The Spanish American Club, Inc. wishes its members, families, and friends a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Picnic 1993
Annual Picnic at Ft Pierce Inlet State Park
By Sam Del Rosario
On Saturday, September 25, the members of the Spanish American Club, Inc. gathered at “Ft. Pierce Inlet State Park.” This activity, which the club had planned in advance for members and friends, turned out very well. We all enjoyed the delicious meals that the members prepared. It was a perfect day to spend at the beach. The children had fun playing in the water, the adults played dominos, and others walked along the beach. The members took the opportunity to celebrate the birthdays of George González, José Arnao, Sam Del Rosario, and Maela Arias. Later, they danced to music from CDs that Herman Santa brought. Even the Americans at the table near the members joined in.
The club’s next activity will be on Saturday, October 30. The Halloween party will be held at the “Knight of Columbus” halls in Port St. Lucie. The club has hired the Salsa orchestra “El Conde,” which is very sought after in various hotels and nightclubs in the city of Miami. Their first album, titled “I Don’t Want to Be If You’re Not,” will be on the market very soon. Don’t miss it! The entry ticket costs $20 if purchased in advance, otherwise it will cost $25 at the door. The price includes free drinks all night and snacks at the table.
