Dear Friends and Tango Community, Always Tango cannot
"Thank You" enough for the success of our first Milonga
of 2007 held this past weekend at Melody Club. We want to
express our gratitude with our Tango community because you
made this a remarkable event. The weather was not on our
side but, we really treasure your presence and love for
the Art of Tango. Always Tango greatly appreciates your
continuous support and hope you can join us next month,
Saturday, February 17th, celebrating Mardi Gras. Prizes
will be given to the most creative costumes.
