The Spanish American Club, Inc. celebrates Father’s Day

by Charlie Quiles

To our fathers, your night was celebrated by The Spanish American Club, Inc. at the D.A.V. in Port St. Lucie, Fl.  Our appreciation of your service and dedication to your families was well deserved. Your children and in some cases your grandchildren in attendance attested to that fact. Why even our own president Rubén Alemán was so overwhelmed that he performed a solo dance to the tune of ‘Rock Around the Clock’ to everyone’s delight. The night’s highlights included a return by ‘Zorba’ (Ray Matias). His astonishing rendition of the famed Greek lured many contributors who stuffed his shirt and pants pockets with donations. These proceeds were added to our scholarship coffers.

The buffet served up by our volunteers Isaiah, Jocelyn, Christian and Brianna included red beans, a choice of arroz con pollo (red rice and chicken) or arroz con gandules (red rice and pigeon peas), a choice of chicken or beef patties, pulled pork and a side dish of fresh salad. Desert consisted of a luscious white cake topped with white frosting and fruit. Our birthday celebrants for the month of June were, Tony Cruz, Gilberto Ferri, Gilbert Parades, Naomí Sanabria, Roberta Linares and Cecilia Pulido.

Again, as usual, all of this was made possible through the hard work of our Board of Directors: President, Rubén Alemán; Vice President, Nancy Rozon; Treasurer, Luis Carillo; Acting Interim Secretary, Charlie Quiles; Public Relations Director, Ramón Guadalupe, and Director, Carlos Mejía. If I have forgotten anyone, pardon me. We applaud your efforts. Thank you all.

The Spanish American Club was founded in 1992. The mission of the club is to promote friendship and solidarity among its members and other non-profit organizations throughout the Treasure Coast through cultural, social, civic and sport activities; to promote knowledge of all Spanish speaking countries, their geography, history, art, and folklore. Hasta la proxima! (Until next time)!
