And Mrs.

Ni Chang Wong of the songbook committee makes the presentation.

Ni Chang Wong: Now this songbook has six different sections in different colors.

Isn't  this beautiful?

One section is devoted to patriotic songs.

And then another old favorite  songs, fun and action songs, Hawaiian songs, ethnic and folk songs, seasonal songs, and one  page of ʻukulele chords.

There are 240 songs in this book, 42 of which have ʻukulele chords.

And the committee would like to explain that we decided to have more songs in the book.

If  we had more songs with ʻukulele chords our way, we would not be able to have that many songs.

And  I think in many clubs, if you attend the meetings, they will tell you what chords to put on.

So, attend every meeting.

In your order for a copy of the songbook, if your order is not in  yet, please do it through your club chairman.
