BOT:

Aloha Ahi Ahi Kakou!

Over the hump once again and heading into another Ukulele Fun Filled weekend. Starting with Kanikapila at the UFOHQ, 7p-10p, BYPotLuck (healthy if possible), BYOMusicStands and BYAloha, of course! Saturday Kanikapila will be held at the following, please note the time and you may want to RSVP with the Napa Lodge if you haven’t already:

September 23rd:
Napa Elks Lodge 4p-8p

Btw, we’re actually called the “Ukulele Friends Ohana”. Click above for link to their lodge website.

We’re not sure where we’ll be exactly in the lodge so just mill around till you trip over a Microphone cable. It’ll probably be me setting up the sound system.

September 29th we’re back at the UFOHQ at our usual time. You guys know the drill . . . always bring Aloha!

September 30th:
We’re at the Sonoma Valley Womans Club at our usual time of 2p-4p. BYOMusicStand. Refreshments provided by the SVWC . . .

I want to send a big Mahalo out to Sue and Joe for hosting the UFOhana at the Napa Aloha Festival and Mahalo Nui to all that helped with setup and participated at the Kanikapila. It was an Ono-Ono time for all.  Oh, and thanks to Craig and Linda for the great PHOTOS !

I also want to share some images of Future Ukulele Pilots in the making. A small group of us were asked to perform at a small school event this past Sunday, where Lynette and Charlotte was able to promote their Ukulele Program(s). Click here to view some of the youngest, cutest Ukulele Pilots yet!

Btw, speaking of “youngest”, I understand that Lopaka turned 85 today and Joe is currently at 77 and holding . . . Hauoli La Hanau to you both!

a sudden chill comes,
endless shades of black to red,
beauty in the storm.

It’s not Hawaii but the colors are sure close . . . if you squint your eyes you can almost hear the ocean . . .

Aloha A Hui Hou!
