March, 2015 Meeting Announcement

Our next scheduled monthly meeting is on March 14, 2015. This month BJ Thornton and Barry Cole will be the hosts along with Clay Butler to help in celebrating the club's 6th anniversary.

Our monthly meetings are held the second Saturday afternoon of the month at the Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship, 1207 Ellsworth St. from 1:30-3:30. We are on the second floor, there is an elevator and the building is handicap accessible. All players, both beginners and experienced, are welcome to join in. The first half of the meeting is spent reviewing recently learned tunes, then learning a new tune. The second half of the meeting is "Song Circle", so please come with some tunes in mind. There is a list of our practiced songs further on this site. 

We welcome all new and returning players - we have been growing our club. If you are in the Bellingham area, we are having weekly practices on Wednesdays at the Willows and are putting together a Spring program. We meet at 11 a.m. in room 101 at the end of the first floor hallway to the left. The Willows is at 3115 Squalicum Parkway, Bellingham.
