Thank You So Much

We are still adding up the numbers, but it seems like Saturday's event was a great success. We certainly had one of the largest crowds ever and everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time.


For the second year in a row, we tried to give away a car courtesy of Coughlin Automotive and were unsuccessful.


Rave reviews were heard about the food provided by Heritage Catering.


We will be back later this week with a final report, but for now, we want everyone to know how much we appreciate your support for Java & Jazz and for Mental Health America of Licking County.


Here is a link to coverage in the Newark Advocate.

Some Guys, Some Dolls, a Little Java and Jazz: Could Be a Bumpy Night

Don Gunnerson to be Sauteed on Friday

In today's Advocate, there is a wonderful profile of local artist Don Gunnerson who is to be the subject of a good-natured "sautee" at Friday evening's Grand Illusions event to raise funds for Ohio Cancer Research Associates.  (One of the speakers at Friday's event will be Bob McGaughy who will be our host the very next night for the auction.)

The article is a nice profile of Gunnerson and his many contributions to both the culture and the landscape of Licking County.

We are fortunate to have had examples of his work to auction at our Java & Jazz events.  

His gifts as an artist are undeniable and his contributions to Licking County are substantial.
