Monday Senior center music sessions with the Good Ole Salty Jazz Band
are open to persons of all ages. They would like all attendees to sign up at the front desk, as their funding is determined in part by the amount of center usage, mainly people. The music days are nominally the first and third Mondays, 1 to
3pm, unless one of those days happens to be a holiday of some sort, in which case we use the alternate Monday, ie, 1st & 2nd or 2nd & 3rd. We never
play on the 4th Monday or the 5th (if there is one).
