> Hello Everyone,
> 
> Allow us to introduce you to our new group.  This past summer Lindsay
> Orr received an award from the U of M, the Buckman Fellowship in
> Philanthropy.  Because of the fellowship, we created a new group called
> Tango Bridges which aims to increase diversity, foster a caring
> community environment, and allow current dancers to increase their
> skill, health and enjoyment from tango.
> 
> Our Mission: Tango Bridges is an emerging volunteer based arts
> organization focused on using Argentine tango as a bridge to create
> connections between people with different cultures, backgrounds and
> passions (such as science & various art forms). Focused on making the
> Twin Cities a hub for tango dance, music, and cultural appreciation,
> Tango Bridges will offer programs and events to increase the
> accessibility of Argentine tango and to inspire participation from
> people of various backgrounds and interests.
> 
> If you are interested in learning more about how we plan to make a
> difference or how you can support/join our efforts, (or if you just want
> to come to a fun party) please attend our first fundraiser event.  We
> will be hosting a dessert/wine fundraiser on Friday Nov 7 at 8pm at
> Janeen Whitchurch's residence (2016 Herschel St., Rosevillle).  For
> special entertainment Maximiliano (Maxi) Gluzman will be giving a
> slide/movie show: "The Golden Age of Tango Music and Dance". There will
> be plenty of time for socializing. More details on this event will be
> sent out soon.
> 
> Money raised at this event will assist Tango Bridges in kicking off our
> first project, bringing Maxi Gluzman to Minneapolis to assist our
> organization on key, initial projects that support our mission.
> 
> In earnestness for this project we have obtained fiscal sponsorship from
> Springboard for the Arts.  This means that donations made to Tango
> Bridges are tax deductible.
> 
> For more information, email tangobridges_at_gmail.com
