The Spanish American Club, Inc. hosts Christmas Party

By Herman Santa

On Saturday, December 17, members and supporters of The Spanish American Club, Inc. gathered to celebrate the club’s last event of the year at the Sons of Italy Lodge 2594 in Port St. Lucie.  During a break, D. J. José Ramírez played a Happy Birthday song to the members that were celebrating their birthday on December.

Fallowing the birthday celebration the members and their guests enjoyed a delicious buffet catered by Mandi’s Café and Catering. The meal consisted of pork, ham, chicken, mix veggies, dessert and coffee.  There were door prizes and 50/50 raffles to top off the event.

The Dinner Dance Gala was planned by the board of directors of the club chaired by Carlos Bonet, president; Nancy Rozon, vice president; Al Feliciano, secretary; Ruben Aleman, treasurer; Ray Guadalupe, public relations; Luis Carrillo, director; and Melissa Sanchez, substitute.  A big “Thank You” to the board who worked very hard to make the last annual event of the year a big success. Many thanks to the members who helped with the decorations and set -ups. Finally, thanks to the members that donated the Christmas toys and the door prizes.

The non-profit organization’s mission is to preserve the Hispanic heritage on the Treasure Coast. The club continued a 24-year tradition by distributing food baskets to underprivileged families for Thanksgiving and donating holiday gift bags to needy children in the area.  The members meet once a month to socialize, dine and dance.
