Welcome to the Ukulele Society of America

USA is a non-profit club in Southern California which meets at the Oceanside Broiler on Thursdays from 6pm - 8:30pm. Hula lessons from 4:45 - 5:45 pm. Please come join us whether you are a beginner or a professional! Loaner ukes available. We would love to have you at our FUN Thursday meetings!
