Annual Mardi Gras with D.J. José Ramírez at “DAV”

By Herman Santa

The Annual Mardi Gras Party hosted by The Spanish American Club, Inc. was celebrated on Saturday, March. 26 at the Disabled American Veterans Club in Port St. Lucie.  Members and their guests enjoyed an evening of costumes, snacks, dancing, and of course, the beads. Our president Carlos Bonet and public relations director, Ray Guadalupe updated the members about the next events and thanked every one of them for their continued support.

Member’s birthday celebration was enjoyed by all. After the birthday celebration and raffle drawings, everyone enjoyed the music of our D.J. José Ramírez. Big thanks go to the members and their guests who bought tickets for the scholarship raffle.  And finally, many thanks to the set up committee and the decoration committee who did a great job.

Next event of the club has been scheduled for Saturday, April 27 to celebrate our Annual Picnic.  The Spanish American Club, Inc. is a non-profit organization. Its mission is to unite Hispanics throughout the Treasure Coast, in order to preserve our Hispanic Heritage.
