Current Events

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we unfortunately will not be able to offer our last 2 sessions of Ukulele Camp on Tues 8/5 or Tues 8/12 and will also no longer be holding our Ukulele Camp concert on 8/12.

We are, however, continuing to support the King Ferry Food Pantry this summer.  At their request we are collecting macaroni and cheese at Hazard Library.  Please help to support your neighbors and community through donations to the Food Pantry.
