2023 Allegheny Ukulele Soirée Thanks
Mahalo to Everyone!
I want to thank all of our attendees, artists, sponsors, and vendors who helped to make our 10th annual Soirée such a smashing success. It's hard to believe that the Soirée has been going on for an entire decade - from our humble beginnings at our local Penn State branch campus to the nadir of the COVID-19 pandemic, to today! We have so much to be grateful for and it's all because of our wonderful attendees whose smiling faces keep us going!
