As a reminder, FOKP must be sure to give written thanks to those who participated in the Tree Day event. Randy will work with Sophia to insure that such letters are prepared.

They sponsor free, family oriented jam sessions every Tuesday at 8pm, and invite all to attend to help support their efforts regarding Jazz and Blues as an American art form.
