By Herman Santa

On Saturday, January 25, members and supporters of The Spanish American Club, Inc. “SACI” gathered to celebrate the 1 st dance of the year of the club at The Elks Lodge 2658, Port Saint Lucie, FL. 

The event was sponsored by the recently elected new board composed of Carlos Bonet-President; Al Feliciano-Vice President; Evelyn Carrillo-Secretary, Josie Guadalupe-Treasurer; Vivian Megaro- Public Relations; Nancy Rozon- Director (Vocal), and Mary Figliola- Substitute Director.   During a break, D. J. José Ramírez played a birthday song to celebrate the birthdays of the month of January.

A big thanks to Al and Virginia Feliciano for the donation of a  gift basket to be raffled for our aid to Puerto Rico effort.. Proceeds ($200) of the gift basket to be donated to the victims of the Puerto Rico’s earthquake.  Many thanks to Walter Gómez and Otto Vega for their generosity in the donation of their winnings of the 50/50 ($ 55 and $25 respectively) to ourscholarship program.  Finally, thanks to the members that donated the door prizes, bought tickets for the raffles and helped with the event

Throughout the year, the members meet the last Saturday of each month to raise funds, socialize, dine and dance.  The non-profit organization’s mission is to preserve the Hispanic heritage on the Treasure Coast and to unify Hispanics from the Treasure Coast. The group also gives scholarships to local High School senior students from Martin and St. Lucie counties. In November the members give food baskets during Thanksgiving week to underprivileged families and in December they collect Christmas toys for needy children for Martin and St. Lucie counties.
