(from their site) - Established in 1976 as an "an Association to promote the teaching and enjoyment of music," Ukulele Yes! became an international network of ukulele teachers with the common goal of fostering musicianship through ukulele instruction.
In 1976, a Ukulele Yes! membership—just $10 a year—got you a membership card, a very fetching Ukulele Yes! button, and a subscription to Ukulele Yes! magazine. Published twice a year, the magazine was "a means of communicating news to the membership and as a visual and verbal celebration of the Ukulele Yes! organization" (Wallace, W. (1989). A History of the Doane Ukulele Method 1961-1989. p. 52).
