Hi Everyone! Happy Summertime to all. For the month of August we will be having our regular monthly meeting and jam on Friday, August 5th from 10am-Noon at Faith Baptist Church located at 436 Coal Creek Rd in Chehalis.
To find the Church take I-5 to exit 79, then head EAST (back over the freeway).  Turn LEFT on N. National Ave and go 1/3 mile, then turn RIGHT onto Coal Creek Rd. Go 1.1 miles, then turn right into the Church driveway. We will be in the middle building.  There will be coffee and tea and some snacks but it won’t be a potluck.  Everyone is welcome at the jam.
We don’t have any playdates in August but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything fun to do!
