If there is something beautiful in this life, it is being able to see a student graduate from school. However, not all students always reach that goal, especially if they come from low-income backgrounds. For this reason, the “Scholarship Night Dance” of the “Spanish American Club, Inc.” was celebrated on Saturday, November 18, in the ballroom of Langford Park in Jensen Beach, with the purpose of raising funds for a student who intends to continue their studies at the university level.

The grand party was fabulous with the entertainment of the famous DJ Bob Roldan and his “Salsa Express” from Port St. Lucie, which created a sensation with its repertoire of modern music. This is the third time “Salsa Express” has played for the Club and it manages to mobilize a lot of salsa dancers to Jensen Beach. Old and new friends came together to celebrate for a good cause. Some of the known attendees were: Mr. Victor Swift and his wife Ana, Dr. Rosie Avilés and her husband Rene, Dr. Chito Sarkar and his dear wife Lourdes, Engineer Kino Veléz and his kind wife Gladys, Ron and Isa Bryson, Rey and Yolanda Sanchez, John and Gloria Fischer, Maria Bentel and her family, Rafael and Ana Febus, Ray and Liz Lopéz, Herman and Lucy Santa, and the best DJ at the moment, Roberto Roldan and his family.

During a break, the committee director of the scholarship and former president of the Club, Herman Santa, welcomed the attendees and thanked them for their support and cooperation with the committee. Through this newsletter, we want to thank Bob Roldan for donating his time and talent. We also want to thank the Scholarship Committee, especially Isa Bryson and Ana Swift, who worked hard to make the dance a success. We cannot forget the members and friends who made donations. All the funds raised went to the Club’s Scholarship Fund for the year 2001. Remember that helping a Hispanic student always warms our hearts. This will be the last club activity for the public this year. The club’s upcoming activities are scheduled in the same location at the same time and with the same DJ. There will be prizes and surprises.

On January 20, 2001, the “Annual Assembly” of the members will be held. After the Assembly (after 7:00 P.M.), the public is invited to join the members in a healthy, joyful, and clean environment. Please make your reservations in advance, as only a limited number of tickets will be available for the public. On February 10, the “Valentine’s Day” will be celebrated at the same venue at the same time with “Salsa Express.” Mark your calendars, as these dances are sure to be a success. Reserve your seats in advance. Space is limited, and prices will be reasonable so that everyone can enjoy themselves with family and friends. Wishing you a happy holiday season and may the coming year bring you luck, health, and happiness!
