House Concert Addendum:
The Toby Walker House Concert/Jam was a total success in all ways. Exact numbers will be available by the meeting.
Because it sold out instantly and a lot more people wished to attend and those who came want to do it again, we will do this again: On Sunday, September 16, 2018.

New Jersey Uke Fest - Report to the Board - 2018, March
New Jersey Uke Fest 2018
Dates: Friday August 24 thru Sunday August 26, 2017
Location: Ukrainian American Cultural Center of New Jersey and the Morristown Green
We have confirmed with the UACCNJ and our rent will remain the same as 2017.
We plan to once again have a 24 hour “Fools For Ukes” ticket sale, where we will offer 20 tickets to the full fest. This sale is prior to announcing performers. Sale date, noon on Saturday March 31 thru noon on Sunday April 1.
Our wishful goal is to announce the performers by April 15 and open early bird ticket sales on May 1, but it is more likely that we will announce by May 1 and tickets on sale on June 1.
In negotiations with our first performers and also have 2 instructors lined up.
One of our 2016 performers, Jim Boggia, has a gig at the Mercury Lounge later this month. His agent has offered us a pair of tickets to give away. Our plan for this is to push our new FaceBook Group and offer the tickets to a member of the Group. So, Please consider joining the New Jersey Uke Fest FaceBook Group at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/128093084586423/
Due to including lunch and paper handouts our ticket price will be going up, however if folks are ok with electronic handouts then they can get a discount. (Same if they do not want lunch)
