About

Who we are?

By Herman Santa

The Spanish American Club, Inc. (SACI), formed in 1992 on the Treasure Coast (Martin and St. Lucie counties).  Is a non-profit organization to promote friendship and solidarity among its members and other non-profit organizations, through social, cultural, civic, recreation and sport activities.

The Board meets once a month (The first week of the month) and the members meet once a month (Usually the Third Saturday of the month).  The monthly membership meeting or “Get Together” as we call it, starts at 6:00 P.M. (Dinner/Dance) 7:00 P.M. (Dancing) at The Elks Lodge 2658, 2290 SE Lennard Road, Port Saint Lucie, FL. 34952

The party starts with a cocktail then the members eat a snack or “Picada” and finish with dancing music until 11 P.M.  Donation is $20 for the members and for non members $25 donation to cover the cost of the food and the D.J.

All we ask is that our members and guests to be civil and polite to each other, to integrate, meet new people from other Hispanic countries, mingle with new members and enjoy the evening.  We are Spanish Americans, professional people, business owners, young and retired people, bilingual and multicultural.  Meet us, talk to us, and see for yourselves who we really are and what we do in our community.

Consider our accomplishments:

• Scholarships: Through the last 25 years and with good results, we raised funds for Hispanic students of low income families, with good grades who want to continue their education at a Florida college or university.  The SACI scholarship was established in 1993 for low-income Hispanic students.  Over the past 26 years, the club has awarded more than $36,000 in scholarships to 54 seniors of Martin and St. Lucie counties.  The scholarship is based on need and a proven record of academic excellence.
