This coming Thursday (July 4th) will be Red White & Blue Dance Party from 6 to 10PM at Point Point (details below).
"Asia Night" last Thursday (June 27th) was a rousing success, with 50 dancers and many colorful Asian costumes. "Asia Night" dancers were saddened to learn that one of our regular Thursday night dancers, Zeny Alota, had just passed away. Father Peter said a prayer for Mrs Alota, her husband Bert and their family, and we had a silent prayer for them. Coincidentally, the night was also Father Peter's last Thursday night with us as he is being transferred to L.A. On a more cheerful note, Father Peter and his wife Marie won the Best Asian Costume prize dressed in traditional clothing of India. DJ Mel kept the Joint jumping right up to closing time on a pleasantly cool evening.
Photo Highlights from June 27th "Asia Night": (Note: If the following photos do not appear when you look at this email, click the words at the top of this email that say something like "images have been blocked to protect your privacy" - I already know who you are):
Edith R was delightfully eye-catching in a red Chinese dress. Here she dances gracefully to "Caballero".
Also dancing "Caballero", Nedy was in Igorot costume, Baby was in a pink Vietnamese dress, and Beth danced in a blue & black Filipino balintawak gown.
A while later the dancers were on the floor for "Almost Jamaica".
Marie and Peter received the Best Asian Costume prize from Nina.
And, here we see Marie and Peter dancing.
At closing time the Joint was still full with dancers on the floor for "Mambo Ritmo".
Still time for one more photo (just after 10pm).
It's a fun dance party most every Thursday night at Point Point with line dances and ballroom swing, cha cha, night club 2-step, tango and much much more. Once again this Thursday Point Point, 916 E. 8th Street, National City, offers their special price of $10 for 2-entree dinner plus drink for Thursday Night dancers.

P.S. Other Notes: (1) The Thursday night dance parties are private parties, and this is your invitation to enjoy dancing in Point Point Joint Restaurant, a mere four miles from downtown San Diego. Every Thursday there are dancers who are happy to give free dance lessons during the dances, in case you don't know the steps of a particular dance. Come over now before the summer gets really warm.
