Hey Ukesters, thanks for a great showing at the AARP meeting and an exciting rehearsal later in the day last Thursday! At the AARP meeting, we were given an honorarium in the amount of $121! And in addition to the playlist for rehearsal, we were presented a new Ukesters exclusive song, “Come Sing With Us,” written by our own Libby!
This week we’ll need a head count for the Trash Panda performance on Thursday, June 19, and collect $17 per person-each player and guest(s)–Cash or check (made out to The Ukesters).
New Gig! The organizer for last week’s AARP meeting (Wanda) has asked us to come to the Sardis Community Center 10am on Tuesday, June 17. I told her we would do it if we had 10 or more commit. Please check your calendar and see if you’re available. I’ll have a sign-up sheet at rehearsal for this and a couple of upcoming events.
Our next performance is Wednesday May 14 – Kids and Kin, Albertville Library, 10:00 am Western Theme Sign-up for this event took place earlier last month. Please let me know if you are on the list but cannot attend; we have alternates who would like to claim a spot.
