We have one more class with Peter, who worked on boleos last week. We then have one more gathering - a May 22 practica preceded by a beginners class. Classes will be on hold from Memorial Day through summer. We hope to start with better attendance in fall to guarantee continuing in Modesto. We are at Juline's for the final two Saturdays. Finish the year in style! Our instructor Sean just became the father of a baby girl. Best wishes to Sean, Juliana and Sophie, their new daughter.
