Jazz Update
Our February Jazz Night was a sell out. Al Muirhead is a jazz icon and many people wanted to hear him play.
We have limited space in our venue. We always indicate in our newsletter and e-mails that it is best to come early to get a good seat. We do not have room for additional seating, so some people end up standing but true fans like his mostly don’t mind.
We have been advertising that doors open at 7:30 pm and music starts at 8:00 pm. We usually are able to open the doors now at 7:00 pm. That will not guarantee you get a seat or even if you can get in for standing during the concert, but we hope that it will spread out the line up.
Before the concert, Al came up to talk to me and indicated we may have met. During the concert, Al indicated he lived in Regina before coming to Calgary. I also lived in Regina before coming to Calgary. I spoke to him after the concert and found out he also was a music teacher at my high school in Regina. Once again, it proves it is small world.
Board Update
The Board appointed Lucy Arellano as Treasurer until the next AGM. Lucy has been a member of the board since AGM 2018. We welcome Lucy to her new role.
Spring Fling 2020 – March 28
Our annual Spring Fling fundraiser will take place on Saturday, March 28. This is a little earlier than last year. This date was chosen to avoid any conflict with Flames games, which was a problem last year. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Music starts at 8:00 pm.
This is a fun event with food, drink, music and auction. This is one of our big events during the year so if you would like to help please contact Melissa at [email protected]. We need help with the planning, set up and in obtaining auction items.
