Call for Housing Volunteers


Houston Tango Community!  We need your help! The Houston Tango
Festival is coming up in just a few short weeks! We will have
people coming in from all over the country and the world to take
part in this exciting event! Many of them would like a chance
to experience the true Houston community and would like to stay
with awesome local dancers such as yourselves. Therefore, we need
local dancers to host these travelers! If you are willing to have
one or more out-of-town dancers in your place, please e-mail me
at <stayer at bcm.edu> with:

1. Your name.
2. A reliable way to contact you (e-mail, cell phone,
 smoke signal, etc).
3. What accommodations you have available (beds, couches, floor space).
4. How many dancers you would be willing to take.
5. The dates in which you are willing to take them
 (some are coming for a few days, some for the whole
 festival).

Once I have this information, I will pair you with a traveler and
exchange your respective contact information. It will then be up
to you and your traveler to work out details of their stay. Please
help foster the great Houston Tango community spirit by giving
these traveling tangueros a true taste of Houston hospitality! We
really appreciate anything you can offer!

Thanks so much,
Sarah
