The Spanish Culture Club of SaddleBrooke (SCC) is a culture club, not a language club. It is composed of a group of social and intellectually curious Brookers that seek to expand their knowledge of Latin culture within the old Pueblo and beyond. This is accomplished through monthly meetings that include speakers and tapas buffets, twice-monthly Spanish-speaking breakfasts and excursions to local events and restaurants.
The season opener featured SaddleBrooke’s own Susan Kravitz as our guest presenter. Many of you may have taken Susan’s fabulous music classes through SaddleBrooke Institute For Learning In Retirement. Susan presented an informative analysis of West Side Story from the point of view of the cultural roles and attitudes of the Hispanic characters in the musical.
Spanish-speaking (definitely not required) breakfasts meet on the second and fourth Mondays at 8:00 a.m. at the Roadrunner. This month breakfasts are November 14 and 28.
November’s plans include a program on November 21 at the Activity Center on The Geography and Natural History of Torres del Paine National Park, Chile as well as the Spanish-speaking breakfasts. Join us at the Activity Center on November 21 at 5:30 p.m. Bring a Tapa to share and a beverage of your choice. Monthly meetings are the third Monday of the month.
