The Spanish American Club, Inc. held its annual Holiday Party on Saturday, Dec. 27 at The Sons of Italy Lodge 2594 in Port St. Lucie.  It was an exciting evening where many familiar faces and some new ones came together to enjoy the “End of the Year Dinner Dance Gala”. The party started with a cocktail then the master of ceremonies and president of the club, Carlos Bonet, welcomed everyone and gave an update of the status of the club. He also had all the birthday members of the month of December come up front while the D.J. played the “Happy Birthday” song for them. Among the birthday members that were present were: Mary Figliola, Ursula Carcel, Zipy Cartagena, Carlos López, Virginia Feliciano, Frank Megaro, Nilda Betancourt, Jimmy Rivera, Kathy Rivera, Gustavo Santa and Wanda Oquendo.

Fallowing the birthday celebration the members and their guests enjoyed a delicious buffet catered by Mandi’s Café and Catering. The meal consisted of beef stroganoff, chicken marsala, wild rice, string beans, green salad, dessert and coffee. Everyone enjoyed our entertainer D.J. José Ramírez who as always did a fantastic job singing and playing his repertoire of songs from back in our day to line dancing and Latin salsa music until late in the evening.

During a break the board held the drawings for the door prizes and the 50/50. The 50/50 split winners were: .
