Another good read…it seems. I actually have yet to read it. Purchased a copy that was an old library book from the Orange County Libary system at a reasonable price.

Potluck discussion

Posted by on 13 Dec 2009 | Tagged as: Admin, Practice, Social

Hi everybody,

I’m so glad we were able to find time at the potluck last week to talk about why we come to Sunday rueda practice, what it adds to our lives, and what could make our afternoon together even more fun.

I apologize that I have not had time this week to sit down and collect the notes Barbara and Nadja took into a coherent, typed up list. I will do that soon!

In the meantime, let’s keep thinking and talking about what we enjoy about Sundays at Sonny’s and what we’d like to add in to the mix.

See you on the 20th! (Yes, there is Sunday rueda today, I just can’t make it. Wish I could be there with you.)

Just a quick note to ask for your feedback about the location of the Havana Nights parties – Would your preference be to continue having parties there, move to a smaller private venue or try to get set up in a club? I have a few different options for February and would like to know what your preference is as a group.
