Jazz Parents - Are you ready?

What will you be doing for the 2011 Campana Jazz Festival? There will be a particular need for this year's freshmen and sophomore parents to shadow the leads in key festival activities, so you can help to continue the festival in the years to come, and pass it along to your successors, too! The festival is in great shape, organized in teams, and loads of fun. Please consider joining the organizational team for Campana 2011. Need more info? Contact Marilyn Palowitch.

Thank You Campana Volunteers!
