Dear Jonathan,

What a wonderful thing to organize in Lincolnshire; it is so inspiring to hear how everyone is pulling together for the sake of the musicians in need. You can send a press pack to:

It would be very helpful to raise fund for us!! Check out www.jazzfoundation.org/new_orleans.php for the latest on our hurricane relief efforts.

Wendy, our executive director, was in Lafayette, LA, last week making connections with more organizations and coordinating all sorts of amazing things for musicians who've been hit hard. We've been arranging employment, locating musicians and finding them gigs through such programs as Project H.E.A.L. and the Tipitina Foundation. We're coordinating instrument donations with musicians who need instruments. We're providing first month's rent and basic needs. And we're talking to so many musicians themselves everyday from the New Orleans area who've lost everything. We don't just provide financial assistance, but also offer them counsel and hope in such a difficult time.

Thank you so much again for you interest

Eleanor
