Got The Jazz Card?
One way to support Jazz on the Plazz is by purchasing the $100 jazz card, which is said to have a $500 value.
But you must donate $100 to get it and enjoy $500 worth of food and other valuable services in and around Los Gatos.
And it's a fundraising tool for the popular Jazz on the Plazz summer concert series which kicks off 6:30-8:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 20 through Aug. 29, at Town Plaza, at the intersection of West Main Street and Santa Cruz Avenue near the post office.
