Subject: #347: Salsa Update moving to Tuesdays

Hola Salseros!

     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.

Close to the green line (St. Mary's on the C train, Fenway on the D, Kenmore on the 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 portion of the bar when you walk in, but don't let that scare you... Salsa is in the back room!  Full Bar.  Please check your coat.

- examples of what some of around 4,000 VSO volunteers around the world do:
Pediatrician in Uganda
Occupational therapist in Sri Lanka
Science teacher in Guyana
Accountant in Pakistan
Math teacher in Namibia
Biomedical scientist in Ethiopia
Eco-tourism advisor in Vietnam
Social worker in Kazakhstan
Nurse in Kenya
IT trainer in Ethiopia
Pharmacist in Cameroon

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).
