Dear Friend,

The Board of Directors, Parents' Association, staff and students of the Mount Airy Cultural Center would like to take a moment to thank all of patrons and donors who have been so supportive of our program over the years. It is because of your generosity and belief in our mission to keep Jazz alive, that we are able to confront the many challenges, which threaten our existence.

We are especially grateful to the churches and the School District of Philadelphia, who have provided us with space for instruction and rehearsals as we continuously seek to acquire a permanent home. Presently we are using the Grover Washington, Jr. Middle School, for our Saturday morning classes. However because of the changes which have taken place within the School District, our future there is still in limbo. We have begun a building fund, and hopefully with your continued support, a permanent site for the Center will soon be a reality.
