December 31-January 1st - No Firehouse Tango - Happy New Year
January 7 - Birthday of Hilda Genni
My
dear, dear friend, Hilda, who meets with me every week for a Spanish speaking luncheon, will celebrate her birthday at Firehouse for the first time. Unfortunately, Rafael will be away for the event, but we will surely find some nice tanguero to start the birthday tango with Hilda. Do not miss this. This lovely lady is a joy to know, a joy to be with, and a joy to dance with.
January 14 - Birthdays of Erica Alberto and Cris Grapa
Erica Alberto
Erica is a new Firehouse friend, but she is a lovely dancer and and even lovelier person. This is her first birthday celebration at Firehouse, and I'm certain that it will be a memorable one.
Belated Birthday of Cris Grapa
Chris Grapa is a great tanguera, a great dancer, and a great friend. She was so busy that she postponed her December birthday to January so we can all enjoy it. During the milonga, you'll find her at Fran's table or on the dance floor. Chris comes to Firehouse as often as she
can. Carl will start the celebratory tango, and then you guys can all cut in.
January 21 - Birthdays of Estelle Stanger and Rose Whitehill
Estelle Stanger
Estelle is one of the greatest ladies of Firehouse Tango. We are always
thrilled to see her walk through the Firehouse door. We're certain that Bert looks down at the scene with joy and approval. Estelle will try to get to Firehouse on the 21st. She won't dance, but we will sing to her with great enthusiasm.
Rose Whitehill
Rose is a great dancer and lovely lady who has been a Firehouse fan since
our Firehouse # 4 days. She has also been to Buenos Aires with us seven times. We are thrilled to be able to celebrate her birthday. As for the birthday dance, I'm sure that the Firehouse Tangueros will keep cutting in as long as we would let them.
January 28
Francis and Marie Gregoire 40th anniversary
celebration-
No one enjoys parties like the Gregoires, who have been Firehouse friends since the beginning. This year is really special, and we are honored to have them celebrate with us. We have some very nice surprises planned for the evening. You will be sorry if you miss it. Francis will start the birthday tango with Marie and then we lucky ladies
will begin cutting in. The guys will cut in with Marie. It will be delightful. Oh, and we are looking forward to the mountain of huge and luscious shrimp and delicious chocolate cake that Francis and Marie bring. They are sure to be fabulous, as always.
