Annual Mother’s Day with “Pop Caribe” at Knight of Columbus Hall

By Herman Santa

On Saturday, May 10th, the “Spanish American Club, Inc.” celebrated Mother’s Day at the Knight of Columbus Hall in Port St. Lucie. The dance was accompanied by “El Angel de la Salsa” (Angel Roque) and his orchestra “Pop Caribe” from West Palm Beach. Angel had us dancing early with his modern rhythms. As usual, we performed the rueda, the bridge, and there was no shortage of the cañita to dance the calypso style.

The opportunity was taken to celebrate the birthdays in the month of May. Among the birthday celebrants present were Isa Bryson, Reneé Arnao, and Odette Gayoso. In the end, Angel dedicated songs to the mothers.

Luau with Johnny’s Music at the Port St. Lucie Community Center

By Herman Santa

On Saturday, July 27, the “Port St. Lucie Community Center” turned into a Caribbean festival filled with delicious food and tropical colors. The event started at 7:00 PM, where attendees had the pleasure of enjoying an exquisite Latin buffet prepared by the partners. The dance was enlivened by “Johnny’s Music.” Johnny Saltos, with his repertoire of the best Latin rhythms of the moment, played for us late into the night, and we had a great time.

Annual Picnic at North Causeway in Jensen Beach Park

By Herman Santa

On Saturday, June 30, in celebration of “Father’s Day,” the members of the Spanish American Club went for a day trip to the beach. Everyone present enjoyed a beautiful sunny day with the delicious breeze from the Atlantic Ocean. There were some of the best delicious dishes prepared by the families. The venue was decorated with palm trees and coconuts, and multicolored masks to give the atmosphere a Caribbean flair. As always, when this friendly group gathers, they celebrate birthdays, play dominoes, dance, and have a great time.
