Hau'oli Makahiki Hou! Happy New Year!

What a FABulous year it was! 2009 proved to be a very fun and successful year for us. Starting with our first gig of 2009, playing live on Chicago CBS 2 Early Morning News in January just prior to Obama's Inauguration and a special Obama Inauguration 'Hawaiian-style' Bash! The months that followed was filled with fun and laughter, forging new friendships with fans of the Beatles, Hawaiian music, the ukulele. Gig highlights of 2009:

Jan:  CBS2 Chicago Early Morning News; Move-On Obama Inauguration 'Hawaiian-style' Bash
Feb:  George Harrison's Birthday Celebration
Mar:  YouTube filming; Red Nose Day @ Wonderwall Music Shoppe & Emporium
May:  Asian-Pacific Islander Heritage Month; Wonderwall's 1st Annual Ukulele Art Show

Dec:  Forest Park Holiday Walk; Longfellow PTO - Santa House, 'Christmas Around The World - Museum of Science            and  Industry

The positive group dyanamics and energy of our members makes being part of this exciting group so much fun. The camaraderie, level of respect,  love and compassion for each other, makes us an 'ohana' which is Hawaiian for 'family'.

Mahalo to all our family and friends for making our 2009 super! Hope to see more of you and some new faces in 2010!

Aloha ~
GiGi Wong-Monaco,
Founder
