Future of Pender Harbour Jazz Festival in doubt

I received the following email from Monty Rolston, former Chairman of the Pender Harbour Jazz Festival. After twelve years as the volunteer founder and Chairman of the Pender Harbour Jazz Festival, I have decided to step down and pursue other activities. The majority of the volunteer festival committee have also tendered their resignations. The Pender Harbour Music Society is currently looking for local volunteers to rebuild this committee. Please do not make enquiries regarding information on band engagements or 2008 festival operations until a notice is posted on www.phjazz.ca, or www.penderharbourmusic.ca, to state there will be future festivals. It has been a wonderful run of eleven successful festivals, attended by thousands of people, and we hope you were able to participate and enjoy some or all of them like we did. Thanks for coming. Hopefully someone will come forward to carry on the tradition we were striving to attain. Post comments in the Jazz Forum
