Ambiente navideño del Spanish American Club

Por Herman Santa

El Disabled American Veteran’s Club (DAV) de Port St. Lucie fue el lugar perfecto para celebrar el dia de Acción de Gracias el sábado 29 de noviembre y para darle la bienvenida a la Navidad en un ambiente familiar entre amigos, tragos, rizas, rifas, baile y picadas.  La fiesta estuvo amenizada por el D.J. José Ramírez.  Esa noche se recolectaron juguetes navideños que se repartirán en Stuart, Indiantown y Port St. Lucie. Quiero aprovechar este momento para agradecer a todos los socios e invitados que donaron juguetes.  Una vez más, gracias por ayudar a llevar felicidad a nuestros niños en esta época de Navidad.

La próxima actividad del club está planeada para el sábado 27 de diciembre en el club Italiano “Sons of Italy Hall” en Port St. Lucie. Reservaciones son requeridas. Para más información, por favor de contactar al presidente del club, Carlos Bonet, al c.bonet@aol.com.
