October, 2007
Well, this summer has been very busy for the Uke'aholics members.
Performances, practices, kanikapila (Hawaiian jam sessions), casual
jamming, visits to other Oregon ukulele clubs, and more...have kept
everyone jumping.
Unfortunately, during this period, we had to cancel or reschedule a
couple of months' meetings to accommodate our personal and group
activities. We may have missed some folks investigating the
group...and for that we're sorry. We should have known that the Summer Season
is also Ukulele Season!
As we ease into the Fall, we have plans to get back on track with the
monthly meetings on the 3rd Wednesday evening of each month. Note
that we're
switching our meeting time and place. Please check back here
before October for more specific information.
Though we have gained many new techniques for practicing and performing
this Summer, there is still a lot of ground that we need to cover
regarding our musicianship. If that sounds like something you
would be interested in, by all means come join us at the Uke'aholics
Monthly Meeting.

late--11ish. You don't have to bring something to eat or drink, but it would be
nice.
The
He Mele Aloha songbook is used.
Probably 80% of songs are sung in Hawaiian. Usually there is an extra
copy or two around, or you can look on at someone's book. Wiley has a disk
with most of the melodies. See him for the availability of the book and
a disc.

the first exit into Albany (exit 234B) from I-5. Kmart is on the left

Directions to the church from Salem:
Take I-5 South to exit 195B (AKA "The Beltline Hwy") then West - toward
Junction City/Florence.

Beltline.
The church will be on your right, just a block South of the Beltline.
