Hello Gainesville Ocala Area Dancers and Friends,
This week's newsletter is out early to make sure you come to Wednesday's St. Patrick's Day West Coast Swing Party at the Eagles Club. Have heard a lot of people are planning to attend. In case you are trying to avoid me, I have to let you know, my Tango class was canceled and I plan on being there too.
A perfect digital storm hit me. My backup program stopped working, then the Internet degraded to less than 10% and then my hard drive self-destructed, so I am doing this newsletter by memory.
Do not know if UF Swing club is back yet.
Happy Dancing,
Andy
