From claysdancestudio.com:
'This year, in addition to our usual ValenTango goal of "spending a passionate and romantic four days in Portland dancing, schmoozing, eating, and hanging out in the unique ballrooms, coffee shops, cafes, and restaurants with friends and favorite instructors, DJ's, musicians and partners", we will have a more serious mission of raising money for earthquake victims in Haiti. Elaine Newton-Bruzza has taken it upon herself to spearhead this effort and has created a special fundraising page via Mercy Corps for this mission. Please check out this web site and help us in this effort. Thank you.'
