Valentine 1999
Annual Valentine with “El Coqui” at the “Holly Faith” Episcopal Church in Port St. Lucie
By Herman Santa
Call it a desire to relax, to go out of the house, or to investigate what the club directors have to offer us this time. Call it more directly, a desire to dance with everything it means. Call it whatever you want to call it. But whatever your motivation, the fact is that the “Lovers” party that the members and guests celebrated last Saturday, February 20, at the “Holly Faith” Episcopal Church in Port St. Lucie was a complete success. The dinner-party was enlivened by the disco band “El Coqui” from West Palm Beach. Angel Santa and Joaquín Plaza, who make up the music of “El Coqui,” entertained us all night long.
In their debut in Port St. Lucie, they demonstrated that they are professional DJs. This was the first monthly “Get Together” of the members this year, and we must thank the Board of Directors for planning it well, as everyone had a great time. The event, which ended at one in the morning, also featured a 50/50 raffle.
