FREE EVENTS FOR VOLUNTEERS
VivaTango continues to need help to make events run smoothly. Setup only takes a little time and you do not miss any milonga time. The same is true about cleanup. Working on the welcome desk is a great way to get to know your fellow dancers. The hero of the night is the person who brings the food for the event. If you can help contact Sylvie

TABLES
You may have noticed some tables added to the seating area in the last two weeks. The feedback from the dancers is that they enjoyed them. The small tables that fit two or three dancers are the most popular. The large tables that seat 4 persons were also enjoyed. We can get as many of the large tables as we want because the venue as them in storage. The small tables have to be stored in our closet which has very limited space. When you see an empty table please enjoy it. You are also welcome to bring your own small table and make it your home base for the evening and invite your friends to join you. You can decorate it or bring a beverage of your choice if you wish. The only drink prohibition is no hard liquor is allowed.
