We had a wonderful class with Mayumi, but will now be taking a two week break - so Saturday before Thanksgiving, and Saturday after Thanksgiving, Nov. 21 & 28 there will be no class. When we return on December 5, Jean Pierre will return to give us a couple of lessons.
The big news is that we will be having our Monday night practica at the Clarion TONIGHT!!. We start at 8:30 p.m. The bar would like to be able to count on bar and food purchase from those of us attending, so we are all encouraged to buy food or beverages when there. Let us all make an effort to be there tonight at the Shooters bar in the Clarion - 8:30 to 10 p.m.
