Today I got to meet with Jim, Central Florida guy for Ukulele Kids Club, and Tom, Prez of TBUS. Florida now has 13 hospitals in the program so far.
He or Corey will come to our first 2018 Directors meeting and present the program to the rest of the board. Tom said he is sure the rest of the board will light up about this.
Then begins the job of looking for volunteer ukers to go and adopt a kid in the hospitals (3 in our area) that have been given ukes. They will also work with the parents or advocates of the child, who will receive a loaner uke so that they can learn to play with our kids.
I'm pretty excited about this, we want to do it right, it's a program with tons of merit.
If anyone is already doing this, please respond with some info about what worked/didn't work.
Thanks!
