Tango Houston writes: So you have some interest in
Argentine Tango, because you're getting this email.
You probably dance tango here and there, now and then,
at your favorite hot spot(s) when work isn't keeping
you down. But do you have any interest in the tango
community? Would you like to help bring tango teachers
and musicians to Houston? Would you like to help
from the inside to make the Houston tango community as
inclusive and attractive as possible? Tango Houston is
holding a meeting on August 3rd at Pasha's Restaurant,
which is on the south side of University Blvd. just
west of Greenbriar. We will be having elections for
Tango Houston board members, and recruiting volunteers
for certain positions, such as the helpful person who
sends out these lovely emails. We invite all to attend,
though to participate in the actual voting, you must be
a member of Tango Houston. Speak with Ron Jones, Oscar
Gamundi or Richard Ebbs for further information. (Their
emails are <ramjamwn at hotmail.com>, <orlg2003 at yahoo.com>,
and <zyx2222 at hotmail.com> respectively). If you are
interested in joining our organization, or working in our
organization, or just finding out more about this tango
community in which you dance, please attend. Hope to
see you there! --Tango Houston news writer, David Ashe

recommends the food.) Admission is free, but guests are
encouraged to have a meal. See you there! Contact info:
Julia Ward <JuliaAnn at hotmail.com> [Technical detail:
Apparently E NASA Road 1 has been renamed NASA Parkway.
Google Maps have yet to get the memo. Yahoo! Maps has.
Both map services show their data is derived from NAVTEQ,
so go figure. The link below says 911 E NASA Road 1,
which is the same as NASA Parkway.]
