The Annual Thanksgiving event hosted by the Spanish American Club was celebrated Nov. 25 at the Disabled American Veterans Hall in Port St. Lucie.

Master of ceremonies and club President Ruben Aleman welcomed everyone to the party and gave an update of the status of the club and thanked everyone for their continued support. Members and guests enjoyed an evening of snacks, raffles, dancing and celebration of birthdays. DJ and Singer José Ramírez provided the entertainment.

A big “Thank You” to the board, the members and their guests who donated the door prizes and brought Christmas gifts for the children. The club continued a 24-year tradition by distributing food baskets to underprivileged families for Thanksgiving and collecting holiday gift bags to needy children in the area.
