9th Annual Denise King presents

FRIDAY NIGHT JAZZ @ CEDAR PARK

Beginning May 30 , 2008 6-8PM
50th and Baltimore Avenue

If it's May, that means Denise King presents Friday Night Jazz is right around the corner. We've all been anxiously awaiting Spring and the return of our Jazz. Spring is here and Jazz is only weeks away. This promises to be a great season full of fun and surprises. We have a great line up.

As you all know, this series is free and open to all, but because this is truly a grass roots operation, we depend on donations from community groups, friends and lovers of Jazz. This, our ninth year finds us with a shortage of about $10,000. If you have enjoyed the music for the past nine years, I ask that you continue to support Friday Night Jazz, the longest running Jazz series in the city. Your contribution will go toward paying the fine musicians who perform for us every week, buying books for BeBop and Books and it's tax deductible. Please make your check payable to Cedar Park Neighbors with Jazz series in your memo line and mail it to Denise King P.O. Box 16693 Philadelphia, PA 19139

Thanking you again for the many years of support. And as always Don't tell one friend bring two. Picnics, lawn chairs and good vibes welcome
