LETTER from STJS PRESIDENT

To members of the Sacramento Traditional Jazz Society:

Thank you for participating in the 2014 Sacramento Music Festival.
The Festival was a hit with four days of fun for everyone that
attended.  The Board
would like to convey a sincere Thank You for all your efforts.

Unfortunately, there is a downside. We ended up with a net loss this
year of around
$80,000. This cannot just be made up with a fundraiser or two. We need
to make significant
changes in the way we run STJS and the Festival. We do not make these
changes lightly
and easily. So please bear with us as we go through this
transformation and, hopefully,
reemerge to be a stronger organization. Thanks for your time.

Ron Jones

STJS President
