Father's Day was the theme for the June gathering in the activity room at Andrews of Stratford. Seats had to be brought in and they were lined out in the corridor to hear SMUG perform an hour program of oldies for the Young at Heart. While there were probably more Mothers than Fathers in attendance they were all enthusiastic and gave us a warm welcome following each selection.We put a ukulele on almost every table for them to try and get a feel for what it might be like to play a ukulele. The residence has acquired several ukuleles and residents are encouraged to purchase one for themselves and members of SMUG have offered to get them started playing for sing songs in the home and indeed elsewhere when they become more proficient. We might call them ASUE, (Andrews of Stratford Ukulele Ensemble)Want to join.....see Sharon.
Our thanks to Sharon and the staff of Andrews for the special treats and kind hospitality, and to Sharon also for taking the photos. A Happy Father's Day to all the Dads.
