BOT:

Aloha All,

Sorry about the Late Posting. The one thing about taking vacation from work is the work’s still there when you get back!

Oh well, Better late than whatever!  Btw, when viewing the blog please check the date of the posting in the header for the relevance of the current posting . . . i.e. “ . . . this Friday . . . “ against the date of the posting. So you know which Friday the posting’s about,  I messed up on the date from last week’s, sorry for the confusion and Mahalo for checking in.

We are at the Elks this Friday, 7p – 10p. They have a great menu going for the the Casual Dinner. See Below:

CASUAL FRIDAY NIGHT DINNER

THIS Saturday we’ll be meeting at UFO HQ, 2p – 4p,  BYOBeverage, BYOGear and please do take off your shoes . . .

Wine Country Ukulele Festival – Sunday, Sept 13, 1:15 – 2:15p :

We’ve been invited to hold a Kanikapila on the last day of the event, Sunday, Sept. 13th. As I understand from Elaine de Mann, though we will need to pay admission  (after all we do all need to support anything Ukulele),  anyone registering for a class will have their admission fee refunded.

Click the above image for a link to the event and details.  We’re slotted for 1:15p – 2:15p. I’m making up Flight Manuals for us and the public, but you may want to ‘come prepared’, i.e. BYOGear,  just in case. Be there no later than 12:45p for setup. I don’t have stage specifics, I’m hoping there’ll be enough space for the UFO Away Team.  I think we were there last in 2011?

Mahalo Nui Loa Elaine for allowing us to participate.

And of course don’t forget about next week Sunday, September 20th.   Btw, we need help for this event, let us know if you’re able to lend a hand, strong back, etc.

Hele On Ukulele 2015 – Sunday, Sept 20, 11a – 5p:

Yup, it’s that time of the year again, and our Favorite Elks Lodge is once again sponsoring the longest running Annual Ukulele Event in Marin County.

We need help for this event, let us know if you’re able to assist us.

This year, along with the competition, we’re setting up an “Ukulele Flea Market” aka “Uku Market” for anyone interested in selling in selling, swapping, or show casing their Ukuleles and or their Ukulele making Luthier skills. We will provide a space free of charge, just bring down your Uke’s and setup your wares. Please leave send me a message at HeleOnUkulele@piko.ws if you’re interested.

090115: Kanikapila at UFOHQ this Friday!

BOT:

Aloha UFOhana,

Yes, we are meeting at UFO HQ this Friday instead of Campbell Hall. Working in the Garage from Hell has taken its toll on my back and I thought I’d give it a break  (pun intended) from hauling gear this weekend. Run time 7p – 10p-ish. BYPotLuck, BYChair (Just In Case) and BYAloha to share with everyone. Saturday Kanikapila will be held at the UFO HQ also. Run time 2p-4p. Strictly Music Only, i.e. No Food, but BYOBeverage is OK and BYOGear. Post a comment here or email me at Kaleikoa@piko.ws if you need directions to UFOhana HQ.

Woa! Check out the forest fire on the Birthday Cake below . Mahalo to Charlotte for providing ‘our’ Birthday cake(s) last Friday. Click the collage to view album:

Once again, don’t forget about our PIKO Fundraiser on Sept 20th, see below for details. We still have openings for the Uku-Market (aka Hawaiian for Flea Market). We’re providing a space, free of charge, to anyone who’s interested in selling / swapping / or showing off their Ukulele or maybe even collection of Ukuleles. Or maybe you’d just like to provide an Ukulele Service Station / Tune Up (for a small fee of course)? Kind of like a “This Old Uke” kind of thing.  Anyway, we’re hoping to create an atmosphere of An Ukulele Village / Market Place. So we’re open to anything involving the Ukulele.
