Tuesdays
Hola Salseros! Formatting messed
up? Read this on the web at http://salsaboston.com/archive
Subscription info: visit http://salsaboston.com/list
Just
a heads up: by popular demand (so far...) "Salsa Update is going to be published
on Tuesdays heretofore. Please submit your listings by Tuesday at 9am to
insure inclusion.
See you Wednesday An Tua Nua! Also, there's a
Salsa themed benefit tonight at Revolution Lounge, downtown. See mailbag
for details.
If you're waiting for cruise details and such from us, we
got your requests--please hang on. We're a little behind, sorry!
Should be out this week.
--
Just 1.5 short months until the
cruise season begins! Tentatively the first cruise will be on June 10th,
and then every Sunday through mid-September, plus July 4th as
always!
Last year's site is still accurate, though the days of the month
are wrong. That will be updated very soon. http://salsaboston.com/cruise
Now
is the time to start planning a group outing! Do you work for a
company? Consider asking them to sponsor a night at the cruises!
Many companies have funds set aside for funding fun things for their
employees. Send me a note and I'll fwd you our group outings letter to
give to your HR department. olaf@salsaboston.com Private charters
are available too.
Also, if you're a promoter or are looking for some a
great marketing internship opportunities with the cruises, contact me as
well.
Lastly, we are looking for cruise sponsors. If your firm is
looking to market to a diverse latin-oriented community this summer, this year's
sixteen-cruise series is the perfect opportunity for some great
exposure.

club about the same size as the upstairs at Sophia's, with a sizable dance floor
that holds about 150 people, a bar, and plenty of lounge seating.

B), plenty of street and lot parking.
Irish/America/Bar food available
until 10pm. I have eaten there regularly, it is very tasty and modestly
priced.
Note: they have Karaoke with my man Kev-Mac Daddy in the front

the back room! Full Bar. Please check your coat.

VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas) is an international development
charity that works through volunteers in developing countries in Africa, Asia,
Eastern Europe and Latin America. Instead of sending money, food or clothes, the
organization engages skilled people from a variety of professions to live and
work in the communities during a two-year service commitment.

******************************************************************* 5) MIT
Salsa Club is still looking for a couple more volunteers for this year's
social.
The 2nd Annual MIT Salsa Social is Saturday, May 19 in
the Sala de Puerto Rico room of Stratton Student Center.
MIT Salsa
Club is hosting an evening of dancing and performances from local dance
companies.
We're going to need your support. If you can
volunteer at this year's event, please email Chris at
vegas76@yahoo.com.
Like last year, all volunteers will only work
between 30 minutes to an hour. In other words, volunteering to help out
will be like taking a short break from the dance floor to help the club.
You'll also get into the event for free! If you can help the club,
please email Chris soon with your name and email address
(vegas76@yahoo.com).
