[HouTango-L] Tango This Week (5/17/04)

Wed May 19 21:21:02 UTC 2004

        Victor & Susana continue their Friday milonga event on the
        north side.  Martin & Natia are awaiting the birth of their
        child, and don't have a milonga planned for this weekend.
        Tango Houston finishes the weekend with their (again)
        regular Sunday milonga at Serranos.

        Tango Houston is considering some proposals to restructure
        the rules for election to its board of directors.
        While this led to lively discussion on May 9, it also
        required rescheduling the annual meeting and election of
        three board members to Sunday, June 6, 6pm, at Serrano's.
        We hope you will join in the discussions and contribute
        your energy and ideas to improve tango in Houston.

Sunday

        Tango Houston announces that the Tango Houston Sunday
        Night Practica is back! This Sunday, May 16, at Serrano's,
        2815 South Shepherd at Kipling, 77098. It is just a
        block from Alabama, and sort of across the street from
        The BookStop. The phone is 713-528-4550.  We think it's a
        great venue. Super location, excellent sound system, lots
        of room, and a neat atmosphere. With more room, we are
        going back to labelling this event as a practica. There
        should be plenty of space in which to teach, practice,
        work on class material, in addition to just dancing
        for fun. The food is great, so come early for supper,
        and there is a full bar. Thanks to Serrano's, and Rick
        and Ron for welcoming us into their place. We'll crank
        it up about 8:00, like always, and plan to get out
        by about 11:00. We hope you come check it out! Cover
        charge is $3.00 for members, and $5.00 for non-members.
