Please nominate your favorit jazz venues and causes and we will try to make arrangements by early March. We continue to encourage donations for the Tsunami. A list of some suggested charities can be found below.
Suggested Charities
First Mondays started in October of 2002, a year after the terrible tragedy of 9/11 from which many are still suffering.
The idea was to help bring people together and lift their spirits, provide an opportunity network and help revive Downtown Manhattan. In view of the recent Tsunami, our own problems, whatever they might be, seem minor. We are reminded of the fragility of life and of the interconnectedness of our increasingly small plane of the gift of life which we all share.
