Jake Guarin Services - January 29, 2022

Jake Guarin passed away suddenly on December 31st, surprising us at the Eastlake Thursday dances, as well as some of his family, I heard.  Jake was a very friendly, helpful and jovial dancer.  I remember that he had started coming to Thursday night dances when there was Thursday night dancing at the former Point Point Joint. He was remembered again at last night's dance at Eastlake.

 

 

 CELEBRATION OF HIS LIFE
Per the notice above, there was a viewing this afternoon and evening, Friday January 28th at the El Camino Memorial.  And, a mass at St. Michael's Catholic Church tomorrow, Saturday January 29th, followed by a reception.

 

 


 JAKE AT EASTLAKE.  I think Jake's last time at an Eastlake dance was June 27, 2019, when the photo above was taken by Nedy, from Nedy's Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/nedy.lao ). Jake also went to many of the other Filipino-American dances in the San Diego area.

MORE INFO is on the El Camino Memorial web site ( https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/san-diego-ca/jake-guarin-10515239 )

CHINESE NEW YEAR DANCE PARTY at Eastlake Thursday January 27, 2022

Hello Dancers, 

   You are invited to a CHINESE NEW YEAR DANCE PARTY this Thursday January 27, 2022, at Eastlake Shores, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista. There'll be lots of dancing, fun, food, and beverages. It's a "private party" and this is your invitation.  Dancers are welcome to bring a dish of food to share. The incredible DJ Bing Villafuerte will play for line dancing 6pm-7pm, and mixed ballroom & line dances until 10pm.

  MASKS to prevent COVID spread?  Well, the homeowners association has requested mask-wearing to meet COVID coronavirus requirements. In order to have a healthy dance, please do not come in if you have a fever, cough, or other 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.

A DANCE PARTY AT EASTLAKE was last Thursday, January 20th, with DJ Bing Villafuerte, and just over 25 dancers. Here are a few photos: 

 


   LINE DANCING.  Line dancing was non-stop from 6pm - 7pm.  In the photo above, Edith, Nedy and Roland were in front, more or less, dancing to a relatively new one called "Night Tango" (  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTgv2pEaC3I  ). Ballroom and line dancing continued, alternating until 10pm.

 

 


  "COLD HEART" line dancers Edith, Beth and Belen were in front, more or less, in the photo above. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1De2dpLmRas )
