The Fort Guijarros Museum Foundation is holding the Second Annual World War 2 Type Swing Dance on November 14, 2009 at Naval Base Point Loma from 7-11:00 pm.
The Swing Dance is a fund raiser to help support the museum in historical research and educational programs concerning the history of Ballast Point and Point Loma.
The location is a 1919 U.S. Army gymnasium converted in 1940 to a theater and dance hall on Fort Rosecrans, now a National Register Historic District.
Guests are encouraged to dress up in 1940s civilian or Armed Forces costumes, just like the old USO dances held to sell War Bonds.
Music will be provided by Big Band Entertainers, which includes a 14-piece brass and string band.
Active members of the Armed Forces with military ID and their date can get in for the reduced price of $15 each.
Reservations can be made by calling (619) 269-3924 and payment of $25 can either be sent to FG Museum, P.O. Box 13130, San Diego, CA 92193 or be paid at the door. NAMES must be placed on the gate list by Midnight November 8, in order for the Gate List to be send to the Navy Security. No one without a military ID or on this list will be allowed entry otherwise.
