Ken performed "Just the Way You Look Tonight" by Frank Sinatra

NOTE from Ken: Uke chords coming soon. I'm still working it out.

To give proper credit, I got most of the chords off this YouTube video although I have modified it somewhat.

Other Club Topics:

A reminder that the New York Uke Fest is upcoming. Go to the Home Page for the link.

Michael recommended that we use an overhead video projector to display sheet music. This should be possible and we'll look into this for the next meeting.

We are debating the meet day (either Thursday or Friday) for the upcoming year. We will need to submit the reservation next month. So far it looks like most club members prefer Friday. If you haven't voted, please let Suzala know as soon as possible.

A proposal was also made to consider having two meetings per month. It's possible to use the extra meeting to have practice or skill-building lessons. Please let Suzala know your thoughts as soon as possible.
