1000 Ukuleles

[csgray]

I am now collecting emails of interest prior to finalizing my proposal to admin at my school. We will need volunteers in the following categories to pull this off: ukulele players (a 1000 of them), planning and coordination committee, cleanup crew, someone to help set up and monitor a facebook page, someone to design a commemorative t-shirt and poster, people who can help network with uke teachers and other prominent people in the local music scene, registration and coordination people day of the big show, and probably a zillion other people and tasks I can't think of yet. Please email to thousandukes AT gmail.com and put your area of interest in the subject line so I can sort addresses when sending out updates. This could be SOOOOOOOOO great! I do want to be upfront that a big reason why I want to make this happen is to fund art and music classes for my school; since Public Charter Schools' recent budget slashing we have lost these programs, and it hurts the kids. T-shirt, poster, and food sales during the event are how I hope to raise the funds for these classes.
