Bulletin, Nov. 24, 2008

Patrick finished his rotation and we will take a break on Thanksgiving weekend.
We resume on Dec. 6 as Roman Tabayoyon, one of our first instructors,  returns for one week.  It has been a while since we last saw him , so it will be fun to have him and his elegant styling again if only for a week.  He  will be available for private lessons and encourages them. (916) 425-2395 or e-mail zapata@surewest.net.
