[Tango-A] NA-E: NYC-Special Benefit Milonga for Ruby

[esowchek@pipeline.com]

A Special New York Milonga for a Very Special Person
A Benefit for Ruby Patel
Friday, August 11th at Dance Manhattan

Ruby Patel is someone who has been a real Friend of Tango in New York City. In addition
to being a fine dancer, an excellent hostess and a super chef, she has been an important
and truly giving member of our community for a number of years. Now, it is our hope
that that the Tango community will help to return the favor.

Ruby has been undergoing medical treatment for a very serious illness. Like many
Americans, she is without health insurance. She is no longer able to work, and the
expenses are mounting.  In order to come to her assistance, Sara Ruderman (Tango
Escape) and I, together with the fabulous folks at Dance Manhattan, are holding 
a benefit for Ruby. It will take place this Friday, August 11th, at the regular
monthly Blue Moon Milonga hosted by Valeria Solomonoff. There will be wonderful 
dancing, excellent refreshments, special guest performances, live music by Hector
Del Curto and the Eternal Tango Orchestra and a silent auction, with many terrific
items up for bid. The proceeds will go towards helping Ruby in what is really her
time of need.
