  We resume classes  on December 3, with Ed Loomis, One of the first organizers and teachers of Sacramento's  tango community.  The  first class, for all levels with beginners particularly encouraged is at 11 a.m., the second class, at a more intermediate level will be at 12:30. 


  We meet at Urbano California Bistro on Tuesday for our weekly practica.  Come and dance with other members of the local tango community.  We need a good presence to make it worth their while. Management of Urbano has been very supportive of our tango community, allowing us to use their facility for our milongas when they had Jacobs Restaurant.  We need to support them in return.  Hope to see you there.


Until later, Mary
