Hi Guys,

Here's hoping that we won't have to reschedule our tango event again, like we had to last week due to the storms (see below for the rescheduled date). There was a lot of interest in this event, which is why it is being rescheduled and so we hope that all those people who wanted to attend will still be able to attend in the near future.

We also no have a twitter account here at SAE Buenos Aires, so if you want to keep even further up-to-date on what's happening out our microcentro office, tweet us!

Remember to check out the events that we have planned for this week below in this newsletter and to stay updated on other interesting stuff happening at our clubhouse by staying connected to this weekly update as much as possible.

Thanks,
Tracey
