Monday is Boxing Day* and we invite you to bring a couple of cans (or boxes) of food items to be donated to a needy family or food bank. We will offer a $2 discount on the entrada for those that bring something. (Note: If you have or know of a needy situation within our tango community, please contact me privately with details and I will arrange for the donations to help meet that need.)
Thanks,
John
* from Wikipedia, "Boxing Day": The exact etymology of the term "boxing" is unclear and there are several competing theories, none of which is definitive. The tradition has long included giving money and other gifts to those who were needy and in service positions. The European tradition has been dated to the Middle Ages, but the exact origin is unknown and there are some claims that it goes back to the late Roman/early Christian era; metal boxes placed outside churches were used to collect special offerings tied to the Feast of Saint Stephen.
