Post-event followupMany thanks to everyone who was able to join the milonga! Thanks for the support for our local tango artists! Thanks for the support for Wildlife Critter Care Society! We raised: $300 and a carload of supplies for Critter Care - our local wild life emergency and rehabilitation people. We have had great feedback from many attendees about the tango duo Mala Yunta.
