Alpine Library sponsored Ukulele Jam Club

In the beginning of January 2025 the Alpine Library said they would welcome us the use of a room to have a Beginning Ukelele Club 2x a month.

We continue to enjoy our 2x Uke Jam Sessions and along with next years Holiday performance we are looking for a summer opportunity to preform. We are all very grateful and thank you for the support of the Alpine library!!

Encouraging Creativity and Community

There is a great sense of camaraderie and support between the classmates Thank you to the Friends of the Library for making it all possible.
