Modesto Tango Bulletin, March 20 2017 ​

Saturday  Kenny Bell  returns for another couple of classes.  The first one, for all levels, at 11:00 am, beginners particularly encouraged to come to that one, and the second class, at a more intermediate level, at 12:30. Coming up on Sunday, May 21, the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast at the Seasons on 945 McHenry.  Why does this matter? Well, one of our newest member, Anthony Butera, well connected to the Kiwanis has asked for a milonga in connection with the breakfast, so as we have a chance to contribute to a good cause ($10 buys our breakfast) we get to dance the rest of the morning, from 10:00 a.m. to noon.  Afternoon milongas are not that uncommon, but a morning breakfast milonga will likely break a mold, so, come one, come all and be involved in this mold-breaking. We want to also draw your attention to the classes that Chooi Goh is teaching up in the Sonora/Columbia area.  Some of us have made a point of going in order to support their nascent tango community - The next one will be this coming Sunday, March 26.  Details below. ​ Until later, Mary Our website: http://ModestoTango.com Our email mailto:ModestoTango@gmail.com Keep track with our on-line calendar  http://sites.google.com/site/modestotango/home/argentinetangoacti Modesto Tango is a non-profit association of tango aficionados dedicated to sharing artistic, cultural and social aspects of Argentine tango.  To unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/Modesto-Tango/subscribe   CALENDAR FOR THE WEEK   TUESDAY:  Weekly practica  at Urbano California Bistro, Come to dine, socialize and dance.  This is a good time to practice what was covered in class. 1016 H St, Modesto, CA 95354 WEDNESDAY: March 22,  Class  at  Modesto Senior Center,  211 Bodem Avenue   focusing  on tango basics.    2:45 / 3:45.  No fee.
