Israeli Dancing this Thursday at B'nai Israel
International Folk Dancing on Friday

• UF Tango meets on Thursday from 6 to 8 at Hillel and is open to the public
• There is no Tango on Friday at UF
• Tango Y Te is not meeting on Saturdays until they find a new place
• There is Tango on Saturday December 19 at UTC

Friday night the UF Volleyball team plays Penn State in the NCAA Regional tournament at the O'Connell Center. Check it out. These are really fun to watch and you can sit right down by the floor. To get the best seat go behind the Penn State bench. There are usually empty seats behind the visiting team's bench at the start of the match. The team's change sides each game, so the second game you will have the Gators right in front of you, close enough to hug, but do not do that. You will get arrested.

You should confirm all events this month before going.

Congatulations to the football team for an incredible streak.

Happy Dancing and it is Great to be a Florida Gator,

Andy

AN INVITATION FROM THE FULL MOON SISTERS

Your smile heralds the season's Cheer
Bringing finger foods, desert,wine and beer
Your dancing, your music and dressed up best,
Makes YOU the highly honored guest
So PLEASE come again, the seventeenth year.
The Archer Ball needs you, it's abundantly clear!

Here's the day to remember,
The twelf of December.
On Saturday night, at eight PM
It's at Anita's in Alachua again
There'll be drumming, singing, jamming and such,
So bring your instruments,
Gourmet foods on a plate,
Let's get together and CELEBRATE!

North on 441, turn right at the Kangaroo in ALachua
Take 241 left, 4 miles from that fork turn left on 222pl
