NO DANCE PARTY at Eastlake Thursday July 22, 2021, but get Vaccinated

 Hello Dancers,   

  Thursday evening dancing at Eastlake may resume later in July, even though the coronavirus lingers, and LA is raising its restrictions again.  But, NO dancing at Eastlake this Thursday, July 22, 2021.
  It's been 16 months since the state-wide shutdown.  Some Filipino-American dance groups in the San Diego area have started dance parties again, so filipino dancing in San Diego has survived.    
  When we resume dancing at Eastlake, there may be restrictions imposed even at the last minute, so everyone should get their COVID coronavirus vaccinations now. There are many vaccination sites.    
 

Here's the dance party plan for the next two Thursdays at Eastlake:

Thursday, July 22, 2021:  NO dance

Thursday, July 29, 2021:  HAWAIIAN NIGHT DANCE PARTY at Eastlake, 6pm-10pm at the Eastlake Shores Beach Clubhouse, 2050 Lakeshore Drive, Chula Vista CA 91913. DJ Bing Villafuerte.

 Hello Dancers,   

  Thursday evening dancing at Eastlake remains cancelled until further notice due to what's left of the coronavirus, and a hopefully-over-soon restriction by the Eastlake HOA, including Thursday, June 10, 2021. The CA State ban on gatherings is scheduled to end on June 15th.
  It's been 15 months since the state-wide shutdown.  Some Filipino-American dance groups in the San Diego area have started dance parties again.    
  The coronavirus epidemic statistics published for San Diego County continue improving. Over the past 3 weeks, the County has had very low COVID numbers. The rate of new intensive care admissions dropped to about 1 every 2 days, and the rate of deaths over the past three weeks dropped to about 1 per day. The County and other organizations are now vaccinating lots of people, using Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines. There are many vaccination sites.    
  I'm now only sending these emails every 3 weeks. I am now using my website's email service.  ( bert@sandiegofilamdancing.com )


Here's the dance party plan for the next few Thursdays at Eastlake:

No dances, until further notice.

Hoping to see you again soon on the dance floor,

NO DANCE PARTIES at Eastlake Thursday February 18, 2021, and until further notice

 Hello Dancers,   

  Thursday evening dancing at Eastlake remains cancelled until further notice due to coronavirus, including next Thursday, February 21, 2021. I hope everybody remains healthy and avoids the flu and coronavirus.
  It's been a year now.  February 13, 2020 (last year) was a Valentines and February Birthdays Party, the last Thursday night dance party at Eastlake before the clubhouse closed for renovations and the coronavirus shutdown.  
  The coronavirus epidemic statistics published for San Diego County continued to be bad over the past 3 weeks, but hopefully the numbers will improve. The rate of new intensive care admissions climbed to about 9 per day, and the rate of deaths over the past three weeks was about 31 per day. The County seems to have enough coronavirus vaccine for all seniors, at least I was finally able to get my 1st vaccination a couple days ago.     
  I'm now only sending these emails every 3 weeks.

A Sad Announcement, Again

Hello Dancers,  

  Another very sad message:  Dolores, the mother of Martha and Belem passed away back on October 28th.  She was 86 years old. 

 

She was Maria Dolores Fernandes, and she was born on June 21, 1934, in Mexico.  Later she moved to the US, and lived in the San Diego area.  Dolores had danced Thursday nights at Eastlake several times, and both Ruben and I danced with her and her daughters several times. Dolores loved dancing, her favorites being cha cha, such as by Tito Puente, and salsa, such as by Celia Cruz. And, she loved cooking.  Besides 5 children, Dolores is survived by many
grandchildren and great grandchildren. They remember her as loving, giving, and dedicated to her family.  

  Dolores's final days are reported by her daughter Martha in the email below. Dolores was getting wonderful help from the Art of Hospice Care of San Diego.
  
  Please pray for the soul of Dolores, and pray for the continued good health of her daughters Martha and Belem and their families.

With regrets,
Bert & Edith

Hi Bert,

I hope you are doing well.

I really miss seeing you.

I have some sad news. My dear Mother passed away on October 28. She had a urine infection. Later she fell and fractured her hip, had hip surgery, and her dementia got a lot worse. She really enjoyed being with you all and often talked about hopefully going back to seeing you all.

Thank you for your e-mails and keeping us posted.

If you have any pictures of videos of my mom please let everyone know my phone # and e-mail address so they can send them to me whenever it is possible. 

Many blessings to you all.  Please say hi to Edith for me.

NO DANCE PARTIES at Eastlake Thursday January 21, 2021, and until further notice

Hello Dancers,  

  Thursday evening dancing at Eastlake remains cancelled until further notice due to coronavirus, including next Thursday, January 21, 2021. I hope everybody remains healthy and avoids the flu and coronavirus.
  The coronavirus epidemic statistics published for San Diego County continued to be bad over the past 3 weeks. The rate of new intensive care admissions was about 5 per day, and the rate of deaths over the past three weeks climbed to about 30 per day. Although the County has gotten close to 100,000 coronavirus vaccine doses over the past month, only about 20,000 have been used, and only a few 100 to seniors. San Diego City will request vaccine shipments directly to the City to bypass the County's logjam.  
  I'm now only sending these emails every 3 weeks.
