The beginning of the Club can be traced to the year 1987 when several Puerto Rican families got together and decided to meet and form a group to foster the unity among families from several Latin American countries. As the group grew it was prudent to create a constitution and by-laws, and a Board of Directors was formed in 1988. A “flamboyant” tree and the colors orange and green were chosen for the original logo. The club now has over 350 members with a varied representation from many Latin countries. A new logo was adopted in 2009 using as inspiration the actual logo of the City of Lakeland, thus, we have a “swan” or “cisne” now.
