Father’s 1999
Annual Father’s Day at North Jensen Causeway in Jensen Beach
Por Herman Santa
The pavilion reserved by the club directors to celebrate “Father’s Day” on Saturday, June 20, was full, or rather, packed. Under a cloudy sky and a gentle sea breeze, members of the “Spanish American Club, Inc.” gathered to celebrate Father’s Day and present the college scholarship winner to the attendees. People from different parts of Martin and St. Lucie counties arrived at the “North Jensen Causeway” in Jensen Beach to enjoy a friendly Sunday, regardless of the heat and rain.

Luau 2000 with D.J. “El Coqui” at Jensen Beach Women’s Club
By Herman Santa
Every year, the Spanish American Club, Inc. celebrated the Hawaiian fiesta on Saturday, August 7, and no one was left out. The spacious ballroom of the Jensen Beach Women’s Club was packed. People who never see each other took the opportunity to dance and relieve their stress. It was also a chance for some of our members to get to know each other. We saw many new faces and cheerful people, and almost everyone sported Hawaiian shirts and enjoyed dancing to the music of the Coqui. Many enjoyed the snacks prepared by Gladys and Juan Piñeiro, as they had alcapurrias, empanadas, and tostones at reasonable prices.

The partners celebrated the 5th anniversary in grand style on Saturday, May 22, with a bus trip to the famous Tropigala show restaurant in South Beach for an evening. We departed from Port St. Lucie on a bus to South Beach. The cost was free for the members. There was everything: live band music, Broadway-style shows, and even dance for those who enjoyed salsa.
