Hello Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,

Change to this month's Contra dance schedule and location. Check both before going. There are three dances. The first is this Saturday, not Sunday.

Taught a Pyhsical Education class at UWL. Here are some videos. Think you will be amused.

From Andrea Pham: Vietnamese Student Organization is going to hold Pho Fundraiser this Sunday, November 7 from 11:00am - 9:00pm at the Gainesville Garden Club (1350 NW 75th St). VSO organizes this fundraiser twice a year in order to support the Vietnamese cultural showcases for UF students, faculty, families and friends (free). 'Pho' is a Vietnamese traditional soup with rice noodles and beef slices (vegan noodle soup available). The price is $7.50 for a bowl of pho, a traditional Vietnamese dessert, and a drink. Or all you can eat for $20. Please come with friends or your family to enjoy this dish as your Sunday delight and support VSO.

Happy Dancing,
Andy
