Volunteers Wanted for Workshop Committee

TangoHelena is looking for volunteers interested in helping organize our spring 2012 workshop with Murat and Michelle Erdemsel. There are many ways to help out: housing coordinator, venue coordinator, registration honchos, milonga hosts, and planning all of this! The workshop will be April 13th through the 15th. The more community participation we have in putting this together, the more fabulous it will be!
The workshop committee is also considering an event in August with a live tango quintet from Austin! Join us now and make it happen!
If interested in joining this preemminent committee, contact Grace
