Hola Tango Lovers!
As many of you know, last week’s newsletter was Meira’s last.
For a while now, Meira has sent out delightfully designed and professionally executed
newsletters that have kept the Johannesburg milonga floors turning. Personally,
I am very grateful to her for all her hard work. Without the weekly newsletter,
I would have had no idea where to find my next tanda.
Thank you Meira!
Meira has graciously allowed me to continue to use her format
and hopefully I will be able to pull it off. I ask for your patience as I learn
the ropes.
My goal is to get the newsletter out each Monday and I am happy
to include your contributions, information and event details.
In the meantime, I look forward to seeing you on the dance
floor.
Tara
