Modesto Tango Bulletin, Feb. 13  2017
We had a good day with Andrea.  The workshops were well attended as was the milonga with guests from Sonora, Sacramento and the Bay Area.  If you weren't there, you did miss out. 
We can take a bit of a rest now until Wednesday when we resume classes at the Senior Center.
