Independence with D.J. “Rob Torrence” from Showtime Entertainment at “DAV”

By Herman Santa

Members of The Spanish American Club, Inc. hosted the Annual Independences Party (US, Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia and Perú) on Saturday, July 21 at the Disabled American Veteran’s Club in Port St. Lucie.  The 90 plus attendees were entertained by D.J. “Rob Torrence” from Showtime Entertainment.  They enjoyed a night of dancing, food, door prizes and good camaraderie.  After the dinner, members celebrating their birthdays during the month of July were asked to stand near the birthday cake while the DJ played the “Happy Birthday” song for them. 

Followed the birthday celebration, the directors held the 50/50 raffle, the door prize drawing and the hat dance contest.  The raffle winners: Carlos Melendez, Ernesta Monroe, Fernando Mejia, Larry Couloris, Gladys Velez, Quique Alvarado, Al Feliciano and Diana Sanchez.  The door prize winner was Helen Couloris and the hat dance contest winner was Vicky Rodriguez.  Later in the evening Marine veterans sang the Marine Corps hymn.

Among the guests attending were: Pedro and Betty Balaguera, Jorge and Carmen Perez, Neftali and Maria Rivera, Larry and Helen Couloris, Dan and Evelyn Depagnier, Bob and Georgia Leon, Bob and Iris Strickland, Marco and Dinah Herrera, Pedro and Rosa Moran, Eliseo and Maria Cruz, Maritza Ruiz, Frank Rivera, Betty Vera, Diana Sanchez, Jesus Piñeiro, Andrea Moreira, Yolanda Roca, Jana Vargas, Maritza Rivera, Ana Nieves, Catalina Ruiz and Anna Guerra.

I want to thank Deacon Carlos Melendez for the prayer before the dinner and the Board of Directors who helped with the decorations; the set ups and planned the event.  Many thanks to the door prizes donors: Nancy Rozon, Karen Diamond, Marcel Cartagena and Al Manzanares.  Big thanks go to the members and their guests who bought tickets for the raffles.  And finally, I want to thank Elizabeth Mejia from McDonald’s restaurant who donated the ice for the party.
