I’m excited to share with y’all an extremely rad event that we’re supporting this month. We’re honored to be co-sponsoring the Seattle Fandango Project and UW’s Convivencia: Convening Community’s upcoming workshop series, De Pie (On Our Feet) Healing Through Dance and Music//Sanando Atravez de la Musica y el Baile.

School of Music Rm 313
Wednesdays, October 10th & 17th @ 6PM
Seattle, WA
These two workshop sessions will be lead by Annahi (Saoco) Hernandez, a community organizer and bailadora/dancer within the fandango tradition. For more information on Annahi and the other events she will be facillitating through the Seattle Fandango Project, see the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/508059552539967/
In other news, we are working hard to begin WAC meetings next week! So, stayed tuned if you would like to attend those weekly organizing sessions as a volunteer. The meeting time will be announced on our Facebook page. If you haven’t already liked the WAC, do it now: https://www.facebook.com/ASUW.Women
I also wanted to share with you some other upcoming campus events:

As a final word, since today is the federal “holiday” called Columbus Day, I wanted to encourage everyone to reconsider the supposed celebration today marks. For more information, see this website: http://www.transformcolumbusday.org/faqtcd.html
