Sun City Ukulele Club raises funds for local libraries

The Sun City Ukulele Club has three or four open mics a year, where club members prepare a song and perform it for their fellow club members and guests.

“Goodbye to Snowbirds” was the theme of the most recent program, which also included a raffle for a ukulele donated by Brian Bayha.

The club raised $270 with this raffle. Their plan is to buy ukuleles and donate them to local libraries, as they have done for the Fairway and Bell libraries. Patrons can check out a ukulele just like they do a book or DVD.

The Sun City Ukulele Club meets all year, 3 p.m. every Thursday, in the Fairway Music Room (unless preempted by holidays or special programs). It is open to RCSC members and no previous skills are needed.
