July Meeting & 1st Anniversary Party

The Baywood Ukulele Social Club returns to the great out of doors for our next meeting, Sunday, July 15, 2012 @ 3pm.  We will meet behind the Back Bay Inn B & B which is right next door to the Back Bay Cafe where we met last summer and fall.  They have a large grassy area which they are allowing us to use, so bring folding chairs and or a blanket to sit on.  Come a little early for a bite to eat or a beverage at the cafe as a thank you for the Back Bay's generosity in hosting us on our special 1st Anniversary Meeting!  Let's turn out in force to celebrate one great year of bringing ukulele music to Baywood and Los Osos.
