Spanish American Club Annual picnic

By Herman Santa

The Spanish American Club, Inc. members celebrated their annual picnic at Jensen Beach Park on Hutchinson Island on Saturday, April 27. While some enjoyed the beach, others played dominoes, danced and celebrated their birthdays.

After the cook out, the members and their guests celebrated birthdays of Carlos Bonet, Carlos Mejía, Lucy Santa, Herman Santa, Millie Asencio and José Santiago with a birthday cake and song. The winners of the 50/50 raffle were, Lily Cruz, Lou Rosa and Lynette Crespo.

As usual, all of this was made possible through the hard work of our Board of Directors: President, Carlos Bonet; Vice President, Al Feliciano,; Treasurer, Josie Guadalupe, Secretary, Evelyn Carrillo; Public Relations, Vivian Megaro; Director, Nancy Rozon and Subtitute Mary Figliora, the picnic committee and other volunteers.

The nonprofit organization from Martin and St. Lucie counties was founded in 1992 and it is the oldest social, civic, benevolence and sport organization on the Treasure Coast. The mission of the club is to promote friendship and solidarity among its members and other non profit institutions of the Treasure Coast through cultural, social and civic activities and to promote the knowledge of the Spanish speaking countries, their geography, history, art and folklore.

Next event of the club has been scheduled for Saturday, May 25th to celebrate our Annual Mother’s Day Dinner Dance.  For information about the club, please contact the new president of the club, Carlos Bonet at: c.bonet@aol.com.
