Note From the Chair:

Rotary Club International exemplifies "Service Above Self," and the Jazz in the Woods at Corporate Woods is the Overland Park South Club's (OPS) most significant effort to do just that.

Each year tens of thousands of people hear great Jazz performances. These free performances would not be possible without the hard work of the members of the Overland Park South Rotary Club, and the generosity of many local corporations whose sponsorship has allowed this event to raise over $40,000 for charities last year. Our goal for 2010 is even more aggressive, but it must be in order to give the resources these charities need to carry on their work and service.

Consider being an active participant in whatever way you can. Becoming a volunteer, committing to a corporate sponsorship, or attending the festival all play a vital role in the success of this event. As participation increases financial support increases, which means we are able to give more to our charities. As you consider your participation at our annual event, spend time on our web site to learn more about Jazz in the Woods. Please also consider following us on Facebook by becoming a fan of “Jazz in the Woods” and the “Overland Park South Rotary” pages. If I can answer any questions you may have, please contact me personally.

Sincerely,

Marc Shaffer
2011 Jazz in the Woods Chairman
