The incredible DJ Bing Villafuerte will play for line dancing 6pm-7pm, and mixed ballroom & line dances until 10pm.

  MASKS required?  Well, the homeowners association still has a "masks recommended" sign on the door.  In order to have a healthy dance, please do not come in if you have a fever, a bad cough, or other serious cold or flu symptoms.  Anyone can wear a mask who chooses. Everyone should bring a mask, just in case the requirements change at the last minute.

DIRECTIONS: Take H Street east to Eastlake Drive.  Go right one block, then turn right onto Lakeshore Drive. Then, turn left immediately into the parking lot of 2050 Lakeshore Drive.  The Eastlake Shores Clubhouse is behind the gated fence.

EARLY BIRDS BY THE LAKE posed by Eastlake for the photo above.  They were Janet, Faye, Edith, and Nanie & Tom (who were enjoying one last Thursday before going to the Philippines).

BEFORE EATING,  Beth gave a blessing for the food, and a prayer health of everyone, and for peace in Ukraine. 

 

 

 

 PANCHO VILLA came all the way from Tijuana to sing "Besame Mucho" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvmxM5R-3e0&feature=em-share_video_user ) with back-up dancers Irish, Lou, Florita, Victoria, Sheila, Karina and Lolit.
