Modesto Tango Bulletin, April 17, 2017

We resume classes next Saturday, April 22,  with Chooi Goh of Sacramento starting a basics tango curriculum.  Her first class at 11a.m. will be geared to all levels.  The second class, at 12:30 p.m. will be at a more intermediate level.  She will be with us for the next few months as she comes on alternating weeks to complete her curriculum.  She has also been conducting classes in Sonora, and has become the Tango sweetheart up there, so come to Studio V, 4345 Spyres Ave. to find out why.   April 19, this Wednesday, (Notice the date correction as I had previously been indicating it was on the day before), we are invited to the luncheon at St. Joseph's church on Oakdale (toward the back)  $8 buys our meal and tango music will be playing from noon to 1:15, for our dancing pleasure.   We can get there early to socialize, any time after 10 a.m. as there would be socializing as well as more dancing from 10:15 to 11. Please RSVP by calling Anthony at  209-315-5245 Then, coming up on Sunday, May 21, the Kiwanis Omelette  Breakfast at the Seasons on 945 McHenry has invited us  to dance during the breakfast. We have  one of our newest member, Anthony Butera, well connected to both the Kiwanis and St. Joseph's parish, to thank  for these opportunities to dance before an audience that may never have been exposed to social Argentine Tango.  We have a chance to contribute to a good cause ($10 buys our breakfast) we get to dance the rest of the morning, from10:00 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.
