Modesto Tango Bulletin, Mar. 24, 2014

Inline image 1

Classes resumed Saturday with many new faces visible - and, as I have seen in Argentine Tango more than once, a shortage of followers. We would have done well to have had four more followers.  We hope to see some of the new faces at ourMonday practica.


Until later, Mary
