Jazz Notes from Teri Hope
As founder of the Jazz on the Plazz program, I am admittedly proud of its’ growth and evolution over the past six years. The 2009 season continues under Los Gatos Music & Arts, a 501(c)(3) Non Profit entity dedicated to nurturing The Arts & Cultural programs in our community.

The Mission of Los Gatos Music & Arts is to act as an umbrella organization for music & arts programs including, but not limited to, Jazz on the Plazz. LGM&A’s goal is to inspire, nurture, develop, facilitate and produce concerts, educational programs, scholarships and other artistic programs which promote music & the arts for the benefit of the community of Los Gatos.” Thanks to the generosity of jazz fans like you, last year’s concert series was an overwhelming success. Generous sponsorships enabled Los Gatos Music & Arts to make donations to two worthwhile Los Gatos beneficiary organizations: The Museums of Los Gatos and The Venue-A Place for Teens.

It goes without saying that all of us share a love for jazz. But more than that, we possess the desire to help talented and motivated young people realize their dreams. We have a very special group of friends--people like you--who make this concert series, our workshops, and other arts programs possible with a tax-deductable contribution each year. We rely solely on the generosity of our friends and supporters...that would be you!

I hope you will accept my invitation to become a Jazz Sponsor today and support this special tradition by clicking on the ‘SPONSORSHIPS’ button on the home page. Or fill out the downloadable Pledge form and return it along with your check to the Los Gatos Music & Arts office.

When you sponsor jazz on the plazz, you will receive many great benefits, depending on your sponsorship level. Perhaps the greatest benefit you’ll receive though, is knowing you’re doing something important for our community.

With many thanks, Teri Hope
