8th Anniversary of SACI com music at the “Habana Biltmore” restaurant in the city of Stuart

By Herman Santa

The Spanish American Club, Inc. (SACI) celebrated its 8th anniversary this summer. To commemorate the anniversary, members held a dinner at the “Habana Biltmore” restaurant in the city of Stuart.

President Mr. Arnaldo Palenzuela welcomed the partners and guests. Alongside Arnaldo were the other board members who helped plan the dinner. They are: Willie González; Vice President, Martha Gonzáles; Treasurer, Mrs. Lee; Secretary, and Iliana Zequeira; Board Member.

The idea was born eight years ago when a group of Hispanics took on the task of establishing an organization to foster closeness and friendship among Hispanics living on the “Treasure Coast,” particularly between Puerto Ricans and Cubans, without excluding people of any nationality. Under this principle, on June 24, 1992, the day the letter with the “Articles of Incorporation” was received, the club was established.

A month earlier, a “Constituent Assembly” was organized and held at the “Educare Center” school of Tom and Kathy González in the city of Port St. Lucie. On the same day, the first Board of Directors was established, whose responsibility was to maintain and nurture the customs and traditions of Hispanics living in the “Treasure Coast.” Today, that circle, which was initially formed by a membership of 9 families, now counts a large group of members who remain united by the same common purpose.
