[Tango] Tango this week, etc

[Lois Donnay]

Last week of Milonga Month!I have been very pleased at the improvement in people's dancing 
with a little more practice in milonga. I told you it would happen! Even if you haven't 
been coming to the classes yet this month, doesn't mean that you can't still get a class or 
two - remember my classes are drop-in, as they teach in Buenos Aires, and you do not need 
to have been in the series or follow a syllabus.

Come on over to the Milonga Martes party tonight - hang out and dance a little, talk a 
little and laugh with us! It's what tango is about!

The Tango Society is meeting tonight, so this is a good opportunity to remind you that you 
have a say in this organization. I get quite a few people coming to me with suggestions on 
what the Tango Society should do, but just because I was president once does not mean I 
have any pull. But you do! You, as members, are owners of this society, so exercise your 
right and be vocal! Do you have suggestions for the monthly dance? For another event? For 
where the Society should spend their (your) assets? For supporting tango events in 
Minnesota?

Here's a start: Tonight they will vote on whether an organizer in town should be allowed to 
mail a postcard about their event to the TSoM mailing list. Approve or not?
