(MIT Salsa Club) All Lessons ON, THANKS from Chris, and Providence-Style Cha Cha!

[CGZ]

Dear MIT Salsa Clubbers,

I just want to say thanks to all of you for the surprise birthday party yesterday--especially to Renee, Stephanie, Steve, Nadia and others for their help organizing.

It was honestly the best birthday I've ever had!  I can't believe that all of you got away with planning it without me finding out.  Very surreptitious of you!

I've never had anyone throw a party for me like that, and honestly, I didn't think I'd ever have anyone throw a party like that in my lifetime.  You really made my year last night and I felt loved.  Thanks so much.

Thank you for the beautiful MIT Salsa birthday cake and all of the cards (especially yours, Sho). My mother and grandmother were very thankful for the flowers you got for them. If you are a facebook user, take a look (on my profile) at the cake that was made (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=502395082).  Unbelievable.

I also want to say thanks for the gift card to Circuit City.  I'll be using the credit to purchase new sound equipment for MIT Salsa and a much-needed new Mambos camera!!! 

Thanks again to all of you.  It makes my week every Monday and Tuesday to come and share salsa together.

See you on the dance floor,

Chris
