On Monday, December 30, the JP2 Friendship Center part of Polish Slavic Center celebrated the end of 2024 Disco with music from the 70s, 80s and 90s. The DJ of the party was the famous New Yorker Dany Johnson, who was a legendary DJ in many clubs in the East Village, collaborating with many famous artists of those years mentioning such stars as: Andy Warhol, Madonna, bands: Nirvana, R.E.M. During the end-of-year party for seniors, drinks and snacks donated by “Vaselka” were served. Special thanks to our partner for supporting this initiative.
