San Francisco Labor Council 2013
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration
Your Ticket to a 50 Year Commemoration Celebration!
Dear Friends,
Are you going to the Labor
Council MLK Breakfast? Instead of an open seating for $50. Let's join
our efforts to get our friends to join us to have a reserved table of
10 for $500. That's $50.00 each, but we can sit together and catch up
and take a few minutes to plan to keep in touch for the New Year. Let's coordinate!
Email me at jackiewright@wrightnow.biz ( subject line MLK Breakfast),
if you want to put together some tables of friends. Let's connect at
the breakfast and get ready for the KBLX evening celebration. And of
course there's all that fun in between at the Yerba Buena Center. Great
Day! Great Fun! Great Commemoration!

Francisco Yoshi's Jazz Club, with a musical tribute being assembled by
Glen Pearson, Jazz pianist extraordinaire and Chair of the Jazz program
at Alameda College. A VIP reception at 2:00 p.m. in our adjacent Lush
Life Gallery will precede the performance. This is also a unique
opportunity to include as part of your Black History Month

fundraising event will also launch residual history preserving and
history-making opportunities. As part of our new 2013 programming, we
will videotape in March a conversation between John Handy and Jazz
historian and KCSM JAZZ 91.1 radio personality Sonny Buxton. The new
Jazz Heritage Center Program, "Conversations with Sonny," will capture
the voices of musicians, club owners, and fans who were part of the
great era of Jazz in San Francisco and who continue to be part of the
scene.
It will be a great opportunity to enjoy a
musical celebration with friends. Sponsorships are available. Make a
tax deductible contribution or sponsor the event. Contact Christine@jazzheritagecenter.org.
The Jazz Heritage Center is a 501c3 tax-exempt organization, tax ID
number 20-8183068, dedicated to Jazz education and preservation of
Jazz History. Be sure to check the www.jazzheritagecenter.org for details as they are unveiled.  |
