I’m GiGi Wong-Monaco, co-founder of the new Ukulele Club of Oak Park and owner of Wonderwall Music Shoppe & Emporium on Harrison Street, again in Oak Park!

Liz Gaylord (owner of Harrison Works and club co-founder) and I attended Saturday’s Fest in the morning. It was such a ‘bummer’ to have to leave by 1 PM (we were late) to head back to our shops to open for business! We were having such a great time!

I know Lanialoha….she’s the VP of the Ke’Alii Victoria Ka’iulani Hawaiian Civic Club and I’m one of their members. She’s is very active in the promotion of the Hawaiian music and culture here in Chicago. She’s one fun and energetic lady too!

Just wanted to drop you a line to say ‘aloha’. If you’re ever in the Oak Park area, please do stop by our store Wonderwall. And if you ever want to pop into one our our ukulele club meetings, we meet the 2nd Wed of each month at my store….only for this month, July, we’re meeting this Thu, July 12.

Looking forward to meeting you one day ~

Aloha ~
GiGi Wong-Monaco
