Everyone at Jazz Bridge would like to thank Maureen and Mark DeNinno and Glen Gerber (owners of Chris' Jazz Cafe) for allowing us to hold our annual April fundraiser at their establishment once again - we made $2200! And we'd also like to thank Joanne Mekis and Jack at the Mermaid Inn for helping us raise the roof for our annual Zannie-Do Fest - $920! These folks opened their hearts and their venues, paying it forward, to help the musicians in our midst and we hope you will support them too! |
