SLO Tango -- happy holiDAZE

[Laura Elizabeth Andes]

 (document attached for those that prefer it)



Dear SLO Tango Dance Community,



Can you believe it? I am writing, and it’s not about an upcoming workshop! Instead, I would like to take this opportunity to send out wishes for a healthy and happy holiday season as we conclude yet begin again another year. May you and yours not only be blessed, but may you also recognize and give thanks for these blessings.



I would also like to take a moment to express my gratitude and appreciation for this lovely and remarkable community. It is a daunting, perhaps impossible, task to list all of the invaluable, community-oriented behaviors that I have witnessed since joining this community. While it is likely to be a bit clumsy and unavoidably inadequate, what follows is my attempt to recognize and applaud the various (and numerous) people in this community who make SLO Tango a possibility ….



For those who provide local instruction, for those who arrange and advertise for our visiting instruction, for those who host our visiting instructors, for those who host other visiting dancers or musicians, for those who organize our regularly scheduled milongas, for those who plan and arrange for our special milongas, for those who “DJ,” for those who come early or stay late to clean up, for those who bring yummy or drinkable treats, for those who support and attend our milongas and special dance events, for those who share their ideas, experiences, and time: thank you. Thank you for your commitment and loyalty. Thank you for your considerate efforts and dedicated support. Thank you for the dances and tandas. Thank you for making tango a splendid reality!



I count myself as truly blessed to belong to this (nothing short of) amazing community! In the coming year, may you give and receive an abundance of love. May you witness and participate in many moments of joy. May you be the change you want to see.



With gratitude and admiration,

Laura
