Hello Dancers,
Well, there will be NO THURSDAY NIGHT DANCE PARTY this coming Thursday July 10th, at Lola Happy Bistro, 3421 E. Plaza Blvd., National City 91950 ( https://lolahappybistro.com/ ), because we are reducing the schedule to have dances only for special events, usually every other week. So, come to the JULY BIRTHDAYS PARTY on July 17th.
DIRECTIONS: Lola Happy Bistro, 3421 E. Plaza Blvd., National City 91950, is almost a mile east of the 805-Plaza Blvd exit, at the signal-lighted intersection of Plaza Blvd and Manchester Street. We will be in the restaurant with a few regular customers.
