talk of the town. Tango dancers appeared on Fox 26 News

radio show on KLOL (101.1), and this coming Friday, July
29, an interview featuring Glover Gill will be aired on

Tango is partly funded by a grant from the Cultural Arts
Council of Houston/Harris County. Your support will ensure
that Tango Houston continues to provide entertaining and
educational tango events for our community.
Richard Ebbs adds: Friday at 3 p.m.... on KUHF radio
(88.7FM) Glover Gill will play tangos, and he and I will
talk about tango, Argentine culture and the upcoming July
30 Midsummer Tango concert and Milonga, with Bob Stevenson,
host of Front Row, KUHF's afternoon arts feature show. Not
to be missed!
Robert and Valerie Schoenberg and Victor Collins invite
everybody in the Houston Tango Community to a Giant
August Birthday Party and All Houston Milonga to be
held on Saturday, August 27th. We plan to have a first
class event in a new, spacious venue, so don't miss it.
Details will be announced soon. Mark your calendars!
Martin & Natia have canceled their Friday class for this
week only, as they are performing with the Houston Ballet
on Thursday and Friday.
