 A little late in announcing this, but Port Union Ukes has resumed in-person meetings. Full information can be found at the Government of Ontario website: https://files.ontario.ca/moh-living-with-and-managing-covid-19-technical-media-briefing-en-2022-03-09-v2.pdf

In-person meetings of Port Union Ukes cancelled until further notice.

 Once again COVID19 is disrupting our in-person meetings.  This time under the name of omicron. So… we must have made it through variants Alpha to Xi, and only have Pi to Omega to go.  The best way to wait it out is  You might want to take James Hill's free course, Peace Like a Ukulele (https://www.uketropolis.com/products/peace-like-an-ukulele), or try his C salutation ( https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/uketropolis-ukulele-q-a-with-james-hill/id1531983264?i=1000495560944 )

NOVEMBER 18 MEETING BACK ON! πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

 Bob & Grace have volunteered to facilitate the Port Union Uke get-together on November 18, so I hope you all attend. A big thank you to Bob & Grace. D

November 18 Meeting Cancellation

  I’m not going to be able to attend at our meeting next week, Thursday November 18.  Nothing bad.  Just have to be out of town.  πŸ˜€ Would anyone be interested in facilitating the session?  You could use the Daily Ukulele book, which most members have.   If you have computer skills you could hook it up to the projector and link to the Port Union Ukes Website.  If anyone is interested we can talk and I can explain the computer-projector hook-up. Unless someone would like to lead the session, consider the November 18 meeting cancelled.  If someone DOES volunteer to lead, I will let you know. Please let any member that you know who does not have email about the cancellation. D
