August 11 Decades

by | Aug 5, 2019 | News

Sunday August 11th

2-4 pm

Winona Grange, 8340 SW Seneca St, Tualatin, OR 97062

Song circle at 3 pm

This is a decades theme, and I picked one song per decade, starting from 1880 to now! At first, I thought this would be way too hard, so I was thinking about two songs per decade, but decided that I like challenges, so 1880s til now, here we come!

We will have song circle at 3 pm. If you would like to share a song, please bring 20 copies of the handout.
