Great news for TGCTJF fans!!!
SAVE THE DAY!!!  Saturday, July 30, 2011, at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel, 271
 Research Parkway in Meriden, CT  for a One Day Jazz & Blues Extravaganza in conjunction
with the Connecticut Blues Society.
The Great CT Traditional Jazz Festival is alive and well and making plans.  This
 year, due to both the depressed economy and our depressed "rainy day fund", it 
was decided to hold off our next big three-day Great CT Trad Jazz Festival until
 next year, 2012.  In lieu of the annual three-day event, however, we are planning
a one day special 25th year celebration on the same weekend that our three-day festival
would have been on for this year. . . the last Saturday in July . . . thus keeping
our continuity alive.  We're expecting many of our past Directors, Volunteers and
Supporters to be there for a Reunion of our 25th year.
Remember to BRING A FRIEND and SPREAD THE WORD.   From our survey, many of the Festival
attendees came because a friend told them about it and invited them to come, so 
your support by coming and spreading the word to your friends is essential. You 
can't run a Festival with admission fees alone, however, so we've been working to
get sponsors and supporters to help put on the Festival next year.  If you have 
any recommendations for grants or sponsors, we would appreciate your contact, input
and support.
Meanwhile, there are a few Events planned - the "Extravaganza" at the 4 Points Sheraton
on July 30, a concert in Massachusetts in October and possibly another one in CT.
 These events will serve not only as fundraisers but also to introduce our kind 
of jazz to new audiences.  They will also serve as Kick Offs for the 2012 Great 
CT Traditional Jazz Festival.  We are depending on you, our fans, to help "get the
word out".  So SAVE THE DATE --- SATURDAY, JULY 30.  We'll be at the 4 Points Sheraton,
starting at 3 pm with traditional jazz followed by an Evening of Blues till midnight!
There will be two venues, the ballroom and a tent outdoors, nine hours of great 
music, excellent food, abundant seating, free parking, and you can stay overnight
(call 203-238-2380 and ask for the "Jazz Rate").   Come and bring a friend or two.
Check us out on Facebook and You Tube.  Send me your email if you would like to 
receive a monthly newsletter (imcowern at snet.net).  If you have any interest in helping
out or volunteering please call 1-800-468-HOT-EVENt  (1-800-468-3836).
