We're pleased to report that a total of $755 was collected by The Danceasy to add to the pot for Milagro's medical expenses! Of that amount $230 were unsolicited donations from our non-tango students, and Christina Johnson (Exotic Tango Vacations). Thanks!
We want to thank everyone who came to the milonga last night and bought raffle tickets, baked goods and dances with our taxi dancers. We especially want to thank the people who donated prizes to the raffle - milonga hosts Luz-Mary and Steve Harris (Golden Gate Milonga) and Steve Palubinskas (Tango on Broadway); Cynthia Glinka of "On the Dance Floor" Productions; tango teachers Gary and Nirmala, Chelsea Eng and Polo and Diana. Others donated all kinds of creative prizes. Thanks to Nito & Elba, Don and Marianne Michener, Stella Ling, Gwen Sarandrea and Bernadette Guimberteau for their donations. SPECIAL THANKS to Irene Athanasopoulos for our grand prize, a one-week stay for two people in a lovely BsAs apartment, and EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS to Elaine Sirois and Carlos Lucha - they donated a bunch of fun prizes, helped us get the word out, created a display table for the prizes, taxi-danced half the night, and bought raffle tickets. We're happy to call them friends. -- Kate Schonmeyer & Gale Robinson The Danceasy 9951 San Pablo Ave. El Cerrito, CA 94530 (510) 524-9100 www.danceasy.com
