Carmen Weber Visitation will be on November 10, 2022

Carmen Weber (Carmelita Madla Weber), who came to Eastlake dances often passed away on October 10, 2022, saddening all of us who knew her.  Services for Carmen, cited on the Glen Abbey website, are Visitation 5pm - 9pm, Thursday Nov. 10, 2022 at Glen Abbey, 3838 Bonita Road, followed by a funeral mass 10am - 11am on Friday, Nov. 11th at the St. Charles Catholic Church, 990 Saturn Blvd, San Diego, followed by committal service 11:30am - noon, back at Glen Abbey Memorial Park. Carmen's husband Fred and her son Fred, Jr., recently kindly came to an Eastlake dance, and provided some history of Carmen's life.  We knew Carmen for the bountiful delicious food she prepared, and for her dancing and singing. Fred said Carmen was born in Calumpit, Bulacan province, Philippines in 1949.  Fred met Carmen in 1968 and they married in 1971.  They have 3 children, Fred, Jr., Jonathan and Jacqueline (Jackie), and 3 grandchildren.  Besides being active in church, Carmen was well known in many Filipino-American groups, such as the Eastlake Thursday dancers.

 

 

CARMEN SANG a lot, including a slow song on August 11, 2022, her last visit to Thursday Night Eastlake Dance, in the photo above.

This is the best Thursday night dancing in San Diego, with many other types of dance. While the dancing and music are non-stop, there are dancers who are happy to give free dance one-on-one lessons during the dances, in case you don't know the steps of a particular dance.

OCTOBER BIRTHDAYS NIGHT DANCE PARTY at Eastlake Thursday October 13, 2022

Hello Dancers,  

  There will be an OCTOBER BIRTHDAYS NIGHT DANCE PARTY this Thursday October 13, 2022, at Eastlake Shores, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista. There'll be lots of dancing, fun, food, beverages, and cake & ice cream, and roses for ladies with October birthdays, plus balloons. It's a "private party" and this is your invitation.  Dancers are welcome to bring a dish of food to share. The wonderful DJ Nice Bascos 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.

 CELEBRATION or CHAOS.  While Romy serenaded Karina and Sheila, who were both celebrating their retirements, Joe was doing something, ladies were dancing around them in a circle, and Nedy took the photo.  The video of this scene is posted on Connie's Facebook.

 

 


  THE EASTLAKE DANCERS, well most of them anyway, posed in the photo above - John, Faye, Janet, Nida, Irish and Lolit.  They did a great job dancing the "Polka Dot Bikini" line dance ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64OjLpUNEzo ).
