Jazz at the Labs – come listen this Saturday

Get your tickets now!
This is one of my favorite events of the year, and it always plays to a crowded room of science-loving jazz fans. (I originally said “jazz nut” but found out that was Morris Almond when he was drafted by the Utah Jazz in ’07).
As you know, JATL is the sole fundraiser for the Labs’ support of the Friday Harbor Labs Science Outreach Program (now in its 10th year). The funding of the Science Outreach Program is a partnership, that is also funded in a large part by the San Juan Island School District and generous donations to the San Juan Public Schools Foundation.
Jenny Roberts and Margo Thorp run a great program, and you can find out more about it here.
Here’s more from Rachel Anderson:
Jazz at the Labs, Saturday, June 4th
music begins at 6 p.m.
(Doors open at 5:30 for early viewing of the silent auction items)
Jazz Performances by :
San Juan Jazz Quintet
Chris Amemiya’s Jazz Coalescence
Our emcee will be Dick Stein from KPLU’s Midday Jazz
Farhad Ghatan will help us with our “mini-auction.” Our mini auction will consist of 3-4 fabulous live auction items and then a dozen or so silent auction pieces. We are hoping to raise much needed extra funds for the FHL Science Outreach Program.
Tickets are $40 for dinner and music. We usually sell out, so people are encouraged to call 360-378-2165 (ext. 0) to make reservations in advance.
We’d like to offer a special thank you to our supporters:
