The non-profit organization’s mission is to preserve the Hispanic heritage on the Treasure Coast. The members meet once a month to socialize, dine and dance. Some members and their friends play golf on Fridays after 11:00 A.M. at The Saints Golf Course in Port St. Lucie and bowl on Mondays after 5:30 at the Super Play Lanes in St. Lucie West.
