Jackson Produce Supports Cardinal Ritter Senior Services! Life is a dance! FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7TH 6:00 PM CROWNE PLAZA IN CLAYTON CARDINAL RITTER SENIOR SERVICES Celebrating Years www.tjwies.com 1 November 7, 2014 Dear Friends of Cardinal Ritter Senior Services, Good evening and welcome! I am grateful to each of you for coming tonight and for your support of the mission and ministry of Cardinal Ritter Senior Services. The proceeds from this evening’s fundraiser will be used to provide services for some of the poorest of the senior adults we serve in two of our Assisted Living Facilities, St. Elizabeth Hall and DuBourg House, and for our Adult Day Program. The Support Our Seniors (SOS) proceeds will be distributed by our Social Services Department to seniors in need living in the community. Cardinal Ritter Senior Services provides care, service and support to more than 28,000 senior adults annually. The majority of the individuals served by CRSS are very low income or they have no resources at all. “Inspired by the teachings of Jesus…” our mission is to …”provide an integrated continuum of quality care” to those senior adults needing programs and services of healthcare, housing and social services in the St. Louis community including the six counties of St. Louis City, St. Louis County, Jefferson, Franklin, Warren and St. Charles Counties. I am very grateful to Cathy Flynn, Rosemary Fairhead, and Kathy Sliefert, the Chairpersons of the Event this year, for their hard work and leadership. I am grateful to each CRSS Board member and the Event Committee members for their work and ongoing support of this fundraising event, as well as all our Volunteers who helped with tonight’s Event. Congratulations and thank you to Jack and Julie Lally, the recipients of this year’s Heart and Cross Award, for all that you have done as partners and supporters of CRSS to serve our residents, clients and employees as well as for the impact you continue to make in the Greater St. Louis Community. A very special thank you to our generous Sponsors and Donors! Your ongoing support makes this Event a success and allows CRSS to provide options and resources to our senior adults. I hope that you enjoy our entertainment this evening, The Bob Kuban Band, as well as enjoy time with your family, friends and colleagues. This evening, as you partner with CRSS to provide for senior adults through your support, keep in mind that our residents pray for our benefactors each day. Whenever you think about and want to contribute to the mission of Jesus, please remember Cardinal Ritter Senior Services and together we will bring support, peace and hope to those entrusted to our care.

  • Jazz Jazz Is a Uniquely American Music Genre That Began in New Orleans Around 1900, and Is Characterized by Improvisation, Stron
    Jazz Jazz is a uniquely American music genre that began in New Orleans around 1900, and is characterized by improvisation, strong rhythms including syncopation and other rhythmic invention, and enriched chords and tonal colors. Early jazz was followed by Dixieland, swing, bebop, fusion, and free jazz. Piano, brass instruments especially trumpets and trombones, and woodwinds, especially saxophones and clarinets, are often featured soloists. Jazz in Missouri Both St. Louis and Kansas City have played important roles in the history of jazz in America. Musicians came north to St. Louis from New Orleans where jazz began, and soon the city was a hotbed of jazz. Musicians who played on the Mississippi riverboats were not really playing jazz, as the music on the boats was written out and not improvised, but when the boats docked the musicians went to the city’s many clubs and played well into the night. Some of the artists to come out of St. Louis include trumpeters Clark Terry, Miles Davis and Lester Bowie, saxophonist Oliver Nelson, and, more recently, pianist Peter Martin. Because of the many jazz trumpeters to develop in St. Louis, it has been called by some “City of Gabriels,” which is also the title of a book on jazz in St. Louis by jazz historian and former radio DJ, Dennis Owsley. Jazz in Kansas City, like jazz in St. Louis, grew out of ragtime, blues and band music, and its jazz clubs thrived even during the Depression because of the Pendergast political machine that made it a 24-hour town. Because of its location, Kansas City was connected to the “territory bands” that played the upper Midwest and the Southwest, and Kansas City bands adopted a feel of four even beats and tended to have long solos.
