Sarasota Jazz Festival Update

Scholarship Fund Sets $33,000 Goal

Membership Drops as Renewals Lag

We hope that each of you made it through last week with no personal harm and a minimum of loss. Even here in our sun coast paradise mother nature occasionally humbles us and reminds us to respect and to protect the bounty we have been given.

On a much more positive note, I want to share with you that last month NIk Walker was approved as the Jazz Club's new Treasurer. Nik's love of jazz stems from his birth and early years in New Orleans. After graduation from Duke University his professional career was spent mostly in the development, construction and operation of large public facilities including the Louisiana Superdome and the Seatle Kingdom among many others. The Jazz Club is fortunate to have Nik join the Board's executive team.

The new season begins this month. Check out all the exciting events listed below. And don't miss our amazing Kickoff Event with The Manhattan Transfer and List on Gregory lll on October 21st!
