Our next meeting will be Monday, September 30 at 6:30pm. We meet at the Ontario Recreation Center, across from the swimming pool. It's a great place and the acoustics are wonderful! Come join us for an evening of fun and music!

We will not have a meeting on the first Monday in October, so the only October meeting will be Oct. 21. Hope to see you there!

Hi Strummers!

I'm thrilled to announce that The Ukulele Club will start up again on Monday, September 16 at 6:30. Our new location is the Ontario Parks and Recreation Community Room located across the parking lot from the Aquatic Center at 790 SW Third Avenue, Ontario, Oregon. You'll need to bring a folding chair and a music stand in addition to your ukulele and your song binder.

I have updated our Song list. Click on the "Song Charts" tab and you'll find a link to most of our material. I will continue to update the list. Now you won't have to scroll through the archives to find our songs.

In August, I attended the Oakridge Ukulele Festival in Oakridge, Oregon, and had a great time. Here's a photo:

I learned quite a few new techniques, new chord positions, and some new songs that I hope to share with the group. Ukulele festivals are like summer camps for grownups! I'll keep you posted when I hear of any coming up in the Northwest.

Hope to see all of you on Sept. 16. Bring friends! We can never have too many strummers.

Since we've been unable to locate a new place to meet, we'll take a summer hiatus. We hope to start up again in the Fall.

In the meantime, local strummers might like to check out the Boise Ukulele Group http://www.boiseukulelegroup.com/

See you in September! (Hey, that sounds like a song cue!)

Our next Meeting is June 17 at Tim and Judy's house. Please email me for directions if you plan to come.
