The Journal of the Boulder Friends of Jazz Volume XXIX - Issue 1 - MAY 2018-JULY 2018 Note From the President: Why should I volunteer? Fortunately this question isn t asked as frequently as it used to be because volunteering is equated to doing good and feeling good. People are more or less convinced that volunteering is good and that they would want to do it, if they get a chance. Now this is if they get a chance more often most will ask themselves what can I offer? The Boulder Friends of Jazz wants to give all you the chance to volunteer and feel good about it. As for what you can offer, we have many areas that may be of interest to you. We have activities that will have you in front of the masses, meeting people, and making friends at our many events throughout the year. If working behind the scenes is more your style, we have committees for people who enjoy planning and brainstorming, administrative positions for those who enjoy working with computers BOARD OF DIRECTORS President Lance Christensen - 303-947-5740 Vice-President Jo Novosel-303-875-2292 Treasurer Karen Maddock - 303-926-0263 Secretary Pamela Millener-720-234-1615 Door Chairperson VACANT Publicity VACANT Grant Writer Vacant Members-at-Large Tom Lehmann - 303-466-3197 VOLUNTEERS Membership Georgene Johns - 303-469-0343 Newsletter W Rex Spease- 303-726-8503 Email List Vacant www.boulderfriendsofjazz.org boulderjazz@comcast.net If you would like to serve BFJ, but do not wish to be on the Board of Directors - please let a board member know.
