Subject: WE NEED YOU!

We need you to help make real our project of a co-operative of local jazz musicians operating a jazz club that hires local musicians for its programming.We have now received a pre-feasibility report from a co-operative consultant,for which we received funding from the Calgary-based Canadian Federation of Worker Co-ops.At our fifth meeting,we will study this report which starts to bring us into the domain of actual dollars and cents and concrete actions.As well,we will begin the next step,the feasibility study,and discuss collaboration with the Shine Foundation,a charitable organization devoted to music education which trumpet player Kelly Craig was instrumental in starting.

What we need most is to expand the circle of people that will help us make decisions.That is why we are inviting you and all local jazz musicians to the fifth meeting of the OJM Co-op Saturday,April 25th,at 1pm at the Bank Hotel in Hull,18 Eddy Street,near Promenade du Portage.
