“Get Together” Primer from 2007 at the Abbott residence with a “Mardi Gras” flavor

By Herman Santa

On Saturday, February 24th, the first “Get Together” of the year was celebrated at the home of John and Cristina Abbott in Palm City. The vibrant personality of this joyful couple, her being Spanish and him Irish, was captured on the dance floor. Their love for music, especially Spanish music, was evident when Cristina and a guest danced flamenco on the deck that overlooks the pool, the most pleasant and enjoyable corner of their home.

The party was more than pleasant with the colorful outfits of the members dressed in the “Mardi Gras” carnival style and with the cuisine provided by the members who brought delicious Creole dishes to share and delight even the most discerning palates. After dinner, this humble servant and club president thanked everyone for coming and sharing the first monthly meeting of the year together, also expressing gratitude to the Abbotts for lending their residence.

Then the birthdays of the present members were celebrated, culminating in informing the members and guests. The best costume of the meeting was the German couple George and Martha Deger. Thank you, John and Cristina, for your generous contribution to our club. Long live SACI!
