Bulletin, March 22, 2010

Sean & Charity will finish their rotation Saturday on milonga rhythms.  Charity spoke of a fund raiser  in which we can be involved:  "Youth With A Mission" (YWAM) gets young people and others involved in programs to "bless the women of the Tenderloin" with a day of care. The  theme is "feet". Sean and Charity will teach intermediates Tuesday, March 30, at 8 p.m. in Bertkeley's Finnish Hall, pay for the class with a pair of  new or slightly used women's shoes or a cash donation. In Modesto, bring your donation (shoes or money) to class on Saturday. These are for women who live or work on the street so please donate sensible shoes for walking in. No heels, please. Questions: Charity at charitybeth@gmail.com
