NWPA Ukuleles at the Survivors Dinner – June 21
We played in the Youth Activities Building (a barn) at the Craawford County Fairgrounds in Meadville PA.
Nine members of our group were available to play at the Crawford County Relay for alive Survivors Dinner on Saturday, June 21. Our hour long set of songs was a big hits with the dinner guests during the social hour prior to the dinner. We can all be proud of this group of players for the outstanding job they did on the performance.
Notice the excellent engineering for the hanging of the group banner.  When asked to please find a place to hang the banner, our crew created a wall by upending a picnic table on milk crates.  NWPA ingenuity at work.
    
Recap of June 11
The June get together at Charlie’s Pub and Eatery was another huge success. There were about 20 players in attendance, some more new ukesters joined us and fun was had.
We really nailed some of the songs on the list. “Drop Baby Drop” was described as a weird song by a few and “If I Only Had a Brain” may become a new favorite as soon as we all get past the hard chords.
I really love this group and their enthusiasm. Getting stronger every month. Well done my friends!
No pictures to post this month, sorry ’bout that, no photog on site.
Next Get Together – Wednesday, June 11
Looking forward to another great Get Together, be prepared to laugh and have fun. Please welcome our newest members and help them when you can.  But then, you already do that, thanks. Please remember that we now will meet on the second Wednesday until October. I finally  added the pictures from the May Get Together.
Play list for June 11:
May 13 – Get Together
We had our usual monthly get together at Charlie’s Pub and Eatery in Edinboro. There were 21 players in the attendance, a great turnout.
We once again pulled a new player from the crowd and she learned a few chords and is ready to keep playing. Score another one for us.
There were two other new players who came and were heartily welcomed. Our group is some warm and welcoming and totally helpful to new players. It makes me proud to be a part of this fun loving crowd of ukulele enthusiasts.
NWPA Ukuleles if sponsoring an Introduction to Ukulele Workshop at the Edinboro Art and Music Festival on Saturday, May 16. It will be held at Goodell Gardens, ukuleles will be provided for those wishing to try one for the first time.
Next month and through the summer we will be meeting on the second Wednesday of the month. Please get this schedule change on your calendar.
