San Joaquin County Chapter Guitars Not Guns Photo Album
Photographs by Tim Christensen unless otherwise noted.
Unfortunately, many of our spring, 2007 photographs didn't turn out. In 2008, we invited our students to music jams and
we will continue to do so. As soon as renovations are completed on the Woodbridge Grange building in Woodbridge, CA. we will
offer to community youth, free one-week music "camps" with guest musicians, workshops, live performances, music films,
and recording.
02-27-08: With regret, we are not planning spring, 2008 sessions because
we do not have enough instructors.
08-25-08: With regret, we are not planning fall, 2008 sessions because
we do not have enough instructors.
Please email us at: csgogh@yahoo.com to volunteer as a guest musician or to volunteer as
an instructor for spring, 2009 sessions.
