Thank you to all involved in creating a "jazzy" evening

On behalf of the Somerset County Vocational and Technical Schools Education Foundation we wish to thank the Courier News Courier Cares program, the NJ Jazz Society and the 600-plus area residents who joined us this past Saturday for a magical evening of jazz.
Bridgewater was the first stop in the U.S. for Clarinetist Dan Levinson and the James Langton Big Band after kicking off their Centennial Celebration of Benny Goodman in Europe. The group of international musicians moved the audience through the Goodman career with historical accounts and musical virtuosity.

The volunteers of the Education Foundation are business leaders concerned with educating the next generation. Proceeds will be used to fund scholarships and programs beyond the capabilities of public funding. We encourage all young people who learn through curiosity to consider the programs offered at Somerset County Vocational and Technical Schools. The applied learning environment can strengthen and focus a young person's interest in a career choice. It can be an advanced step to higher education or and accelerated step into the workplace. Parents and students are invited to discover programs taught at this outstanding institution at the annual open house Saturday, Feb. 7.

We also ask that the local business community step up and support our endeavors to provide a workforce for local employers. The Vo-Tech schools are committed to making their teachings current to the needs of the marketplace. With your support we will fulfill our mission to inspire the young people who are the future of our community.
Again, thank you for joining us for a magical and memorable evening that many will remember as the beginning of an unforgettable and historical week in our lives.
