Artistic Director, Lee
Plugging away at the Holiday tunes. Very appreciative of all those who did a Giving Tuesday. In the process of getting all the pieces together for February/March concert. Looking forward to completing the year! MAC should be able to be drawn down now. ArtsKC said they sent us a check. Need to get thank you and end of year tax letters prepped.

Assistant Artistic Director, Jessie
Working out details on a monthly “listening party” (virtually of course) hosted by Mighty Mo. Would be a great chance to a) get our name out there during these times and b) expose our members and fans to a wide range of jazz styles. Looking into copyright details, best platform to host on, etc. to kick this off in early 2021.
