All and all a pretty ‘Standard’ weekend 7 hours of Ukulele, Mele and Hula  for the UFOhana . . . . are we getting too old yet?

As a reminder some of us will  be at the Sonoma Valley Woman’s Club this Saturday 2-4pm.  There will be a group at Sleeping Lady as well. For those of you attending the Sonoma Valley Kanikapila please consider feeding the donation jar as a Mahalo for opening their doors to us.  Mahalo to Betty Ann for her all her effort(s)  in bringing Kanikapila to Sonoma. STRUM ON!

Uke-Ku
Young faces glowing,
Thrill of an Ukulele,
Soaring through mele.

Once again, Mahalo Nui Loa for all that you do for Nohea and myself. Thanks to your generous donations we were able to purchase more chairs, paper and toner for our copier, plates, dinner ware . . . and keep the HQ open for our UFO Pilots.

041315: We’re at UFO Hq this Friday . . .

Aloha All,

We’ll be congregating at the UFO HQ this Friday. Same run time as usual, 7:30 to whenever . . . BYPotluck (healthy to semi-health dishes), BYOGear (music stands and maybe chairs, just in case, remember Murphy’s 5th Law), BYAloha to share with everyone, of course . . .

Btw, we’ll be holding band practice from 5pm – 7pm with Halau Hula Mai this Friday. We’re asking that everyone refrain from coming earlier than 7pm to prevent disruptions. Mahalo Nui for your Kokua (assistance).

Meanwhile, here are the images from the Elks Kanikapila last Friday (click the collages below for album images):
