Luau with “D.J. Sam” at DAV

By Herman Santa

The “Spanish American Club, Inc.” (SACI) successfully celebrated the traditional Hawaiian Party on August 10 at the “Disabled American Club” in Port St. Lucie. The dance was animated by “D.J. Sam” from Indiantown, who had us dancing with hot and lively rhythms until one in the morning. The “Hawaiian Party” has built a reputation for being the only Hawaiian dance with a Latin flavor in the area, and this year was no exception, as prizes were awarded for the six best costumes.

Among the ladies, the 1st prize was won by Luz Beatriz Lozano, a ticket to Bobby Rodriguez’s party at “Cocobongo” in West Palm Beach. The 2nd prize was awarded to Kristal Cifuentes, a ticket to Cocobongo. The 3rd prize went to Olga González, a ticket to Roberto Roldán’s party at the Community Center of Port St. Lucie. Among the gentlemen, the 1st prize was won by Juan Piñeiro, a dinner at Boston Market in Stuart. The 2nd prize was awarded to Mario Alvarado, a dinner at Boston Market. The 3rd prize went to Carlos Cantillo, a haircut at Adela’s Hair Salon in Port St. Lucie.

The judges were Bobby Rodríguez, Nancy Napoleón, and Willie González. Other winners of the “Door Prizes” were Hilarie Hubguardner, Francis Acosta, and Carlos Calle, and the 50/50 was won by Nancy Napoleón. The occasion was also used to celebrate Juan Piñeiro’s birthday and his wedding anniversary with his wife Gladys. Congratulations!

The concept of the Luau originated when the club was founded in 1992. It is customary for gentlemen to wear Hawaiian shirts and ladies to wear Hawaiian dresses for the event. Thanks to all who donated gift certificates and to those who worked hard to make this party a success.
