ArgenTango writes: We missed getting hit by Katrina......we
missed getting hit by Rita..... but let's not miss this
Saturday's ArgenTango Milonga. We need to celebrate
the luck of our Tango community in avoiding the two
largest hurricanes this season. If you know of anyone
who has fled these two hurricanes to our city, please
invite them to come and tango with us. We need to
support our fellow tangueros and tangueras who were
not so lucky as we have been. Please come to join us
and have fun. Snacks and soft drinks are provided.
