You can enjoy a day of music at the Hot Jazz Party, while helping to raise funds for The Arc. Volunteers are needed to take tickets at Teresa's, Thomi's, and the National. We are offering two free passes to all volunteers so that you and spouse or friend can enjoy the Hot Jazz Party before or after your shift. Contact Lucy Hackett at 223-4603 or johnhaedrich@sbcglobal.net and let her know whether you prefer a morning or afternoon shift. Thanks!
