Modesto Tango Bulletin, Dec. 11, 2017
Cannot believe we are already into the last month of the year. We continue working on basics through the month of December, and in January, Kenny returns.
Sonora organizers, Jack & Diane in Columbia had a wonderful gathering at their home after Chooi's final lesson of the year. They spared no effort offering us wine, food and much socializing. Thanks you very much, Jack & Diane.
THIS WEEK'S CALENDAR
TUESDAY: Dec. 12, Practica at Urbano California Grill, 1016 H Street, from 7 to 9 pm.
