Santa Rosa Sunrise Rotary and the Senior Center had a wang dang doodle of a Garden Party!

Have you ever heard a senior citizen’s ukelele band with a lead player who bent strings and “shredded” like Guns ‘N Roses? The guests at The Senior Center’s Garden Party at the Finley Center were treated Friday afternoon not only to a spread of BBQed hamburgers, hot dogs, salads, chips and soda but to an hour or more of ukelele music from a dozen great uke players.

Sunrise Rotarians looked after set-up, cooking, serving and clean-up while The Senior Center provided all the food. 50 to 60 seniors enjoyed the meal and the show, which featured music of many genres and time periods. Helping out at the lunch were Carolyn, Marty, Stacy and Kevin, Steve Z, Penny, Paul, Cindy, Lori and Shauna. A great time was had by all.
