[HouTango-L] Tango This Week (7/26/04)

[A. Lester Buck III]

        Robert & Valerie Schoenberg regret to inform the tango
        community that they must cancel their milonga scheduled
        for this Saturday night, July 31.  They will still be
        helping Victor host the "August Birthday" dance at Dance
        for Life on Saturday, August 7, from 9pm to 1am.

        Victor Collins is suspending his private and group classes
        beginning this Wednesday, as he is receiving treatment
        for his back.  We all wish Victor a speedy recovery!
        (I presume) Susana will continue their Friday milonga on
        the north side.

        Michael Figart writes "Our good friend Raphaele is
        presenting her work of art "Mykonos Relics" at De Zeta
        Art Gallery in an opening reception on Saturday, July
        31, from 6pm-9pm. The gallery is at 4200 Main St, ph
        713-864-4245. Her work will be exhibited in conjunction
        with others in a presentation entitled "Women in Art". I've
        had the pleasure of viewing some of her work recently, and
        I can state that it is striking and original; I was very
        impressed! Raphaele does some really amazing, visionary,
        'different' (original!) work in a style all her own. Check
        it out!"
