Saturday, July 13

2-5ish pm

at the Conti Compound: 4375 South Onondaga Road

Friends and Family Welcome!
Let us know if you need a ride!

The weather looks pretty clear, but we can play on the porch and eat here and there inside if there’s rain. Thought we would play from 2 – 4 and break for picnicking and then play again if we’re all in the mood. Please feel free to stay until whenever! We’ll provide grilled hamburgers, hotdogs and veggie burgers (separate quarters), salad, beer and wine. Feel free to bring snacks, side dishes, and desserts. Or nothing! It would be nice to get a sense of how many will be here so we can plan food-wise, so RSVP if you can, but if you’re not sure, please show up on a whim! More SyraUkers!

The address is 4375 South Onondaga Road, but make your GPS take you down Valley Drive. The routes down to Lafayette are unnecessarily long.

SyraUke isn’t the only game in town.

Here’s the schedule for this year’s Ukulele and Ice Cream Therapy sessions. Six Wednesdays, skipping 31 July. Start time is 7:00 pm. Come listen, bring a chair, have a cone. Or bring a uke and join in. (Songs are mostly out of the Daily Ukulele book.)

7/10—Carol’s Polar Parlor, 3800 W. Genesee St. Syracuse 13219

7/17—Jolime Ice Cream, Taft Road at Chuck Hafner’s Garden Store, Liverpool 13090

7/24—Gannon’s in the Valley, 1525 Valley Drive at Seneca Tpke., Syracuse 13207

8/7— Sno-Top, Rt. 92, Manlius, 13104

Here’s our schedule for the summer! Arrange your vacations accordingly.

Special Activity:

We’re going to play This Land is Your Land, by Woody Guthrie, and post our vid on this site: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/this-land/videos/

This [C]land is your land, this [G]land is my land
From [D]California to the New York [G]Island
From the redwood [C]forests to the Gulf Stream [G]waters
[D]This land was made for you and [G]me

(I’ll have the full music for us all)

Bonus:

We’re putting together our next songbook. If there’s anything you want to play, let us know. Email Joanna at joanna.spitzner(at)gmail (dot) com
