¡Hola Tangueras y Tangueras!

Just a reminder, this Saturday,  Mandrágora Tango and the Tango Society 
of Minnesota will host a fundraiser for <http://tchabitat.org>Twin 
Cities' Habitat for Humanity on January 20th at the Eagles Aerie in 
South Minneapolis (2505 E. 25th St.  Plenty of free parking in back)  
Rebecca Abas will give a lesson at 8, followed by dancing from 9 to 
12:30 to music from Mandragora and DJ Dave Rost.  We may even have a 
demo from Tomas and Noel! 

Pay whatever you want at the door! 100% of the proceeds will go to 
Habitat for Humanity! 100% of your donation/cover charge will go to 
Habitat. If you make out a check, Habitat will send you a tax-deductible 
receipt.  No one turned away for lack of funds. Please come out and help 
the Tango community raise some funds for a worthy cause.

Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian 
housing ministry. HFHI seeks to eliminate poverty housing and 
homelessness from the world, and to make decent shelter a matter of 
conscience and action. Habitat invites people of all backgrounds, races 
and religions to build houses together in partnership with families in 
need. Habitat has built more than 200,000 houses around the world, 
providing more than 1,000,000 people in more than 3,000 communities with 
safe, decent, affordable shelter. A new Habitat house is completed 
somewhere in the world every 24 minutes. Habitat for Humanity has one of 
the lowest operating ratios of any charity out there, meaning that more 
of each dollar donated goes to building houses rather than to overhead 
expenses.

The members of Mandrágora all believe that Habitat is one of the most 
worthy charities out there. Many of us have donated our time and money 
to them. The Eagles Aerie has donated the room for the night and 
Mandrágora, Rebecca Abas, Dave Rost and the Tango Society of Minnesota 
are donating all the entertainment.

Please come out and dance, listen, drink, or whatever you like to do in 
South Minneapolis on a cold Saturday night. We can guarantee that this 
milonga will be more fun than whatever's on TV that night (even if you 
have cable.)

-Bob
