2nd Line on High Scholarship Fund News
After sending three youth to jazz camp this year, it has depleted our 2nd Line on High Scholarship fund. It takes just over $1000 per youth to send them to summer Jazz camp. In October, we will have a special set to showcase what these kids have learned.
As a means of getting us towards our goal of $3500 for our 2nd Line on High Scholarship Fund by April 2025, we are going to try a little something different than we’ve done in the past
- The board has voted that the proceeds raised from our monthly raffle from this point forward, will go towards the 2nd Line on High Scholarship fund, rather than the General Fund it had been previously been assigned to.
- We will display a visual ‘thermometer’ so that we can all watch as we collectively succeed at meeting our goal of $3500 before April 2025
- We have acquired a corporate sponsorship from CharityWorks.Net and SharelifeVacations.com, which allows us to provide donors of our scholarship fund with a voucher which is redeemable for 2 nights in fabulous Las Vegas or magical Orlando and a $100 Dining Advantage Card, plus a bonus trip of 2 nights at the recipient’s choice of 30 destinations. To receive this voucher, all you need is to donate $25.00 or more to the 2nd Line on High Scholarship Fund.
To clarify, your annual dues and your door admission fees do not contribute to our 2nd Line on High Scholarship fund.

ABOUT US
The Society for the Preservation of Dixieland Jazz was created to encourage, perpetuate, and preserve the appreciation of Dixieland music. Our focus is to provide opportunities for musicians and listeners to discuss, hear, and play Dixieland music, and to learn, preserve, and maintain at least a part of the history of Dixieland music.
Dixieland Music, also known as New Orleans Jazz or Traditional Jazz (Trad Jazz for short), is America’s most important contribution to the world of music, and, in an effort to broaden public awareness, we are trying to honor the work, history, style, and significance that Dixieland Jazz has provided to current day music.
We meet the 4th Sunday of each month at Arcadia Elks Lodge, 27 W Huntington Drive Arcadia CA 91007 from 1:00-5:00. Door admission is $10 for members, $15 for nonmembers (but it’s only $20 to become a member!)
