A letter to fans of Healdsburg Jazz...

Dear Friends,

I wanted to share a heartfelt thanks to everyone who enjoyed any part of the wondrous Healdsburg Jazz Festival of 2016.

In the coffee houses and tasting rooms, at the grocery stores and the shops around the Plaza, Healdsburg is still abuzz with praise for the 18th annual Healdsburg Jazz Festival.

But just hours after the last notes echoed into the night, our hopes and dreams for the 2017 Festival began to surface – our 19th annual Healdsburg Jazz Festival. It’s never too early to plan for next year!

If you were excited about this year’s festival, then now is a good time to join our organization and help us start working on the next one.

A crucial key to attracting top artists to Healdsburg is early booking. Many of the artists are in demand at other jazz festivals and notable clubs throughout the country: We need to put Healdsburg on their calendars far in advance.

We are asking your help in raising the resources needed to make this happen, so we can approach these artists with confidence and let them know that Healdsburg is ready for them.

Your contribution at this time will make a huge difference. If you are not yet a member, please consider joining now with a contribution of $50 or more that will automatically add you to our rolls - and start you on the path to membership benefits including our free members-only annual party, early ticket purchase, free CDs and more. Join now.

If you are already a member, think about upping your level when it is time to renew. Every step up brings the Jazz Festival closer to its goal - and provides you with more membership benefits.

And if you have the means – whether as an individual or family, business or organization – become a Patron and get special benefits and VIP treatment, or become a Sponsor and get prominent logo recognition as well. Follow the links in this paragraph to find out more.

At any level, we welcome your support.

You can start with a simple, tax-deductible donation, or join as a member for enduring support. ill allow us to lock in any other star-studded lineup that will amaze and astound, and keep Healdsburg on the map as the North Bay's premiere jazz festival.

Be a part of it! Visit our website to learn how you can contribute. And thank you for being part of Healdsburg Jazz.

Sincerely,

Gloria Hersch
Chair of the Board of Directors
