TERRI's FIREHOUSE TANGO-MILONGA II
MESSAGE FROM TERRI:
Dear Friends and Members:
* The NATIONAL DAY OF TANGO was a resounding success! I am so proud of all of you.
* We will adopt this celebration again every year on the nearest Thursday to it. It is the perfect tribute to the founders of Tango music.
* These genius visionaries, Carlos Gardel and Julio De Caro smiled down on us from Tango heaven. Their music is immortal and so too is our spirit of defiance, which is the essence of Tango.
* Thank you to everyone who danced and dressed the part. You all looked terrific. We are the place to be every Thursday night for Tango and friendships.
Tango Report:
Our stupendous DJ Javier Sanchez really shined like a star for us with his meticulous selections of pure classics by the Tango greats Carlos Gardel and Julio De Caro. Hat tip. Well done Maestro DJ Javier Sanchez.
The music was inspirational. The dancers were perfect. The ladies were elegant. Our gentlemen were gallant.
Everyone is welcome to join us and partake in our events. Let's close out 2020 with style and elegance.
SPECIAL REPORT: What a beautiful 14th wedding anniversary toast to our amazing friends and master instructors Luis Ramirez and Analia Carreno. Applause, applause, applause.
Dearest Analia and Luis: Wishing you and your family many years of health and happiness. Be assured you are respected and loved by us all. Thank you for your friendship and loyalty.
Enjoy this wonderful music. Can you name the song and artist?
I was rendered speechless by the wonderful expression of appreciation from all of you. I was deeply touched by your tender words of encouragement and generosity.
This is what we are all about. A feeling of community, abiding friendships, and the manner in which we come together to celebrate life with joy and passion and caring about one another.
Hugs and hugs to Mary for organizing this heartfelt surprise and to Carlos for that touching presentation. I was completely caught off guard.
And... to all of you, who make Terri's Firehouse Tango-Milonga II the place to be, because... YOU are the people, WE want to be with, every Thursday night!
+++ Need I say it? Tango is non-judgmental. We are not "paused" simply because we met all of the State mandated criteria to operate.
We operate safely because we adhere to suggested guidelines. All are welcome to join us.
So be respectful of all those who make personal choices to participate and equally to those who make personal choices not to. Everyone just do your own thing. +++
If you missed this week, try not to miss out next week. Our system is working well thanks to all of your cooperation.
