On Saturday, December 29, members and supporters of The Spanish American Club, Inc. gathered to celebrate the club’s last event of the year at the Polish American Social Club in Port St. Lucie. The 187 attendees enjoyed a delicious seat down dinner.  The meal consisted of Beef Stroganoff, Mahi Fish, Chicken Marsala, Salad, Baked Potato,Vegetable Medley, Bread, Butter and dessert.  They were entertained by La Herencia Latina Orchestra and D.J.

Master of ceremonies and president of the club, Rubén Alemán, welcomed everyone to the party and gave an update of the status of the club and thanked every one of them for their continued support. Followed the president’s update, event coordinator and public relations Director Ray Guadalupe conducted the raffles and the month of December birthday celebration, door prizes and 50/50.

The event ended with the awards ceremony.  Our president Rubén Alemán recognized some directors for their service, contribution and dedication to the club with plaques.
