From the AIFD board: Thanks to everyone who helped make last week's A Night in Old Vienna a complete success!!! With close to 90 people in attendance, it was a night for the ages: a festive atmosphere; great people; beautiful costumes; incredible food-n-drink spread; endless torrents of delicious live music by so many talented people; videos; a ballet; and even a (faux) champagne toasts. Just like festive nights in the old country, this one flew by on smiles, adrenalin, and endorphins. Misi Tsurikov took a number of pictures of the event to share. You can find them at http://tsurikov.mailcan.com/2015-01-03. This week at dancing Mike DJs, assisted by Michel. Enjoy a fun night of folk dancing with DJ Mike Revesz.
