SUMMARY:Ukeholics Anonymous PLAY DATE
DESCRIPTION:“Playing ukulele over the years has been a very rewarding experience for me. I wanted other people to be able to share that experience. I started this group about six months ago with a group of novice players and I have seen them grow so much. The enthusiasm to learn and the joy it has added to their lives is very inspiring. So I created this group on Facebook in order to connect with others who play or who want to learn to play. This is an opportunity for those in the nearby area to join us once a week to learn and play together and enjoy each other’s company. We play on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:00 PM at the Bay Crossing Clubhouse\, which is located behind Bethany blues restaurant in Lewes Delaware. ” \nThe schedule may change so visit Ukeholics Anonymous FACEBOOK for current updates \n   \nVISIT OUR FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511704215177883/posts/511723851842586/

SUMMARY:Ukeholics Anonymous PLAY DATE
DESCRIPTION:“Playing ukulele over the years has been a very rewarding experience for me. I wanted other people to be able to share that experience. I started this group about six months ago with a group of novice players and I have seen them grow so much. The enthusiasm to learn and the joy it has added to their lives is very inspiring. So I created this group on Facebook in order to connect with others who play or who want to learn to play. This is an opportunity for those in the nearby area to join us once a week to learn and play together and enjoy each other’s company. We play on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:00 PM at the Bay Crossing Clubhouse\, which is located behind Bethany blues restaurant in Lewes Delaware. ” \nThe schedule may change so visit Ukeholics Anonymous FACEBOOK for current updates \n   \nVISIT OUR FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511704215177883/posts/511723851842586/

SUMMARY:Ukeholics Anonymous PLAY DATE
DESCRIPTION:“Playing ukulele over the years has been a very rewarding experience for me. I wanted other people to be able to share that experience. I started this group about six months ago with a group of novice players and I have seen them grow so much. The enthusiasm to learn and the joy it has added to their lives is very inspiring. So I created this group on Facebook in order to connect with others who play or who want to learn to play. This is an opportunity for those in the nearby area to join us once a week to learn and play together and enjoy each other’s company. We play on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 5:00 PM at the Bay Crossing Clubhouse\, which is located behind Bethany blues restaurant in Lewes Delaware. ” \nThe schedule may change so visit Ukeholics Anonymous FACEBOOK for current updates \n   \nVISIT OUR FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511704215177883/posts/511723851842586/
