You may have noticed that “Marci-The-Marvelous” has done it again! All the charts (except Mrs. Robinson – which is new) have been updated so that they are more accurate, or easier to follow, or have better instructions.
š Important: You will want to delete those songs from your iPad and download the latest versions before the jam!
š Annual Meeting (Short & Sweet!)
As a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, weāll also hold our Annual Meeting during the jam. This is our chance to:
- Share a quick year-in-review (including how member support helps bring in guest artists, workshops, and more)
- Share our financial status
- Elect two members to our Board of Directors
We currently have two open board positions, and any paid member is eligible to run. If youāve ever thought about getting more involved, this is a great opportunity! Go to Election Central to get answers to all your questions.
Many thanks to both Carla and Fargo for all their hard work and inspiration over the last two years!
š³ Elections will take place during the meeting, with results shared shortly after.
š Come for the Music, Stay for the Community
As always, after the jam, there will be:
- Light refreshments
- Time to visit and connect with other ukulele folks.
- Support for those with Ukulele Acquistion Syndrome š¤£
- Plenty of smiles, laughter, and great music šµ
Bring your uke, your voice, and maybe a friend or two. We canāt wait to see you there!

The date on the “Cool Upcoming Stuff” side bar says May 23 rather than May 16. Might consider changing that. I hope you have a great jam tomorrow, sorry to miss it.
