Whew!
Caught your breath? On to regular news.
First off, last Saturday at
K of C was a great time with Santo Rico Dance Company of NYC. A great show
was put on by them, as well as a hot new number by Johnny and Andres, and also a
fantastic act by Armando and his 11yo daughter from Salsa Spin Entertainment of
Connecticut! Way to go! I have many pictures that will be posted
shortly.
Thanks go out from Edwin Pabon to everyone who attended, as well
as apologies for the delays between the acts. I personally got hung out
there to dry (as the sucker MC...) but hey... that's showbiz. Next time
I/we'll be ready for that!

An easy ½ hour
from Boston...
From East via Rt 9:
--Take Rt 9 West. When you pass
under Rt 95/128, you'll go 6.5 more miles till you get to exit for Rt. 27
South. --On right, just before exits for 27, you'll see a big shopping
center with a BIG Stop and Shop. For 27 South exit you'll go under Rt
27--slowly because exit is immediately on your right! --Take 27
South 8/10 of a mile to Lake St on your right. (At 7/10 of a mile is a

Ave. to Lodge 1411 on your left (look for red awning).
From Mass Pike
East or West:
--Take Pike to Exit 13. Follow signs after tolls
for Natick. --This puts you briefly on 30 East. Go to first light and
turn RIGHT onto Speen St. --Take Speen about ½ mile, look for sign for Rt.
9 East. A little past Natick Mall (on right), you will EXIT LEFT to get on
9 East. --Take Rt. 9 East a short distance (1/2 mile maybe)to exit for Rt
27 South. --Take 27 South 8/10 of a mile to Lake St on your right.
(At 7/10 of a mile is a light.) Turn RIGHT onto Lake St., then bear

the big intersection of routes 27 and 135 in downtown Natick. --Turn off
135 onto Washington Ave. (it's only on one side, so you have to turn right
from downtown Natick, or left from Framingham) --Go about 1/3 mile to
