TANGO ACROPOLIS - Tango Workshops and Performance from ATHENS, GREECE

The largest Tango festival of Greece is visiting the U.S. - bridging countries through the elegance and timelessness of Tango.

Tango Acropolis, under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism of Greece, the Hellenic Commission of UNESCO and the Embassy of Argentina in Greece, proudly announces the start of its world tour.

Hosting "Milongas without Borders", Tango Acropolis will bring a unique tango experience to audiences around the globe as it visits Washington, DC, New York, London, Berlin, Rome, Buenos Aires and Tokyo.  In Washington, DC, Tango Acropolis will feature a Tango fashion show and two photography exhibits, along with opportunity for friends of Tango from all over the DC community to be able to dance socially on the dance floor.

The goal of Tango Acropolis is to bring the elements of Tango Argentino along with Greece’s rich cultural heritage to major cities worldwide with enticing performances and exhibits full of energy and grace. The Tango Acropolis 2013 World Tour will culminate in an unprecedented global gathering at the base of the archaeological site of the Acropolis in Athens, Greece with the "1st Tango Meeting For Humanity," set to take place July 5th-7th, 2013. The "1st Tango Meeting for Humanity" will be made up of a grand milonga and gala honoring participants of the Tango Acropolis 2013 World tour.

We invite you to experience the unique synthesis of music, motion and passion of Tango Acropolis as we visit Washington, DC to showcase this Argentinean cultural treasure!

St. Sophia's YAL Serves Lunch at Fisher House

When: Saturday January 26, 2013
11:30 AM to 1:30 PM
Where: Fisher House
50 Irving St NW
Washington, DC  20422 
We here at St. Sophia's YAL are organizing a volunteer opportunity on Saturday, January 26, 2013, from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. preparing lunch for Fisher House.  If you are interested, we need you to send an email to [email protected] with what you are willing to bring by January 2, 2013.

What?
Prepare and serve lunch at the Fisher House. The Fisher House provides a safe and free place to stay for families of patients receiving medical care at major military and VA medical centers.
Details are here: http://www.fisherhouse.org/houses/about-the-houses/

Why?
The temporary residents appreciate home-cooked meals more than ANYTHING, especially after a long day in the hospital away from home.

Number of residents?
55 - 60 people.

How?
Lunch, potluck style. They also appreciate a vegetarian option. We have talented cooks and bakers in our YAL, and this is a great way to share your skills for an awesome cause. We could also use juices and sodas.  Even if you don't have the time, you can always pick up something already made.

You can drop it off to a board member or the Fisher House if you can't make it at lunch time.

Where? 
Fisher House 
50 Irving St. Washington, DC 20422

Metro accessible by the Brookland - Catholic University Metro (Red Line) AND Metro shuttle bus (too far to walk)

Again, if you are interested, we need your reply with what you are willing to bring by January 2, 2013. Please send an email to [email protected].

God Bless,

Chris Dallas
Saint Sophia YAL President
