Foreign Flare lt was Christmas time and the Spanish Club was having its Christmas party at the El Torrito Mexican restaurant as the wonderful smell of Mexican food filled the room, the enthusiasm of the Spanish Club grew. Then all the fun began. These were pinatas to break and games to play for all of the members that attended. Not all of the two hundred and fifteen members came, however. Spanish Club officers are Robert Granado tpresidentl, Chalese Stachowiak tvice presidentl, Kevin Sledge tSecretaryl, Lori Kilpatrick ttreasurerl, Teresa Trail tsocial chairmanl, and Bill Kula tprogram chairmanl. It is not just the officers that make a club work though. The club members have to be interested in activities and make them successful. Mrs. Benavides and some advanced students feel there are many reasons why the Spanish Club is important, There are many activities available in the area that could be used to further expose students to the Hispanic culture, but time definitely sets limits. Chalese Stachoviak lseniorl says, I enjoyed being in the Spanish Club because the students who are in the club have fun and share a common interest in the Hispanic culture. When we are together we have a great time and l'll always treasure those memories. Annette Reid tseniorl explains, I have participated in the Spanish Club for the past four years. lt has been an enlightening experience for me. Together we share great memories. 1-r L 18 Foreign Languages
