The event will take place on Saturday, September 16th at Oodena Circle at the Forks. Bring your music (preferably in a binder), a lawn chair, a music stand, clothes pins or binder paper clips for your music if its windy, and, of course your ukulele. Rehearsal takes place between 12:00 and 1:00 p.m. with tthe concert from 1:30 to 2:00 p.m. You can download and print the songs from the site and practice them ahead of time. Please not that Both Sides Now and Something to Sing About were recently corrected and re-uploaded by Kate to the site.

Even if you can't attend, there are some fun songs to play including a few that we play already at our strums.

We will meet again this coming Wednesday, September 13th  at the gallery.
