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 7:00 P.M. at the Disabled American Veterans (DAV), 1150 SW California Ave., Port St. Lucie 34953. The party starts with a cocktail then the members eat a snack or “Picada” and finish with dancing music until late in the evening. Donation is $10 for the members and for non members there is a $15 donation to cover the cost of the set ups and music. When the parties are catered the admission is $15 for members and $20 for guests.

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 we do in the community.
