ACES Celebrates Hispanic Heritage

OnSaturday, September 30, Cresswind’s Club ACES lit up the Clubhouse in a gorgeous display of culture and colors for the Hispanic Heritage Festival!

ACES’ event committee, chaired by Evelyn Ross, set the festive mood with a huge balloon display and by adorning each table with fl ags from Hispanic countries as well as a variety of colors, fl owers and decorations. Delicious Cuban food was served by ACES club members and while guests ate, a mariachi band played and serenade everyone with their upbeat performance. Several times the room erupted in singing as guests joined in with the more familiar tunes.

As much as the night was a celebration, it was also an educational experience as event committee members discussed the history and importance of Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 – October 15 in the United States each year. The night concluded with Cresswind’s own DJ, Da Harlem Spinna, aka Barbara Johnson, filling the ballroom with a curated playlist of the best Salsa and dance music. The night was as beautiful as it was rewarding to see homeowners from all backgrounds and walks of life came together for this Hispanic celebration.
