10th Anniversary of SACI with the orchestra “Sonora Son Caribe” from Orlando, featuring Colombian folkloric group “Candela Viva” from Orlando and D.J. “Blast” from Ft. Pierce at the luxurious River House restaurant in Jensen Beach

On Saturday, July 20, the members of the Spanish American Club, Inc. celebrated their “10th Anniversary” at the luxurious River House restaurant in Jensen Beach. The party was organized by Mr. Bobby Rodriguez, owner of L & B Latin Productions, to celebrate “Colombia’s Independence.” The president of the club, Mrs. Gladys Piñeiro, reserved a little corner for the members in front of the dance floor.

The dance was enlivened by the orchestra “Sonora Son Caribe” from Orlando, complemented by D.J. Blast from Ft. Pierce. During a break, the Colombian folkloric group “Candela Viva” from Orlando performed typical Colombian dances, including Bambuco and Cumbia, in celebration of Colombia’s independence. For many of the members present, the evening began with a cocktail, followed by dinner, and afterwards we enjoyed a delicious cake specially ordered for the occasion. Although it was a bit warm due to the doors leading to the “Tiki Bar” being opened to accommodate the crowd, we spent a night full of joy, laughter, and Latin flavor until two in the morning.

I would not like to say goodbye without thanking the Board of Directors for organizing the event. We also need to thank Bobby Rodriguez, the patio promoter, who allowed us to celebrate our 10th anniversary with them. I take this opportunity to announce that our next event, “Hawaiian Party,” is scheduled for Saturday, August 10, with “D.J. Sam” at the Disabled American Veteran Club in Port St. Lucie. For more information, please call the Board of Directors.
