USO's Big Band Jump at the Grand Galleria April 11: Here's an opportunity to come out and enjoy an evening of jazz music, artwork, award presentation, good food and a raffle and, at the same time, help the USO in its vital support of America's sons and daughters in the armed forces – especially the 100-plus Virgin Islanders serving all over the world.
Right now USO St. Thomas is communicating with Virgin Islanders stationed far from home, sending weekly letters and gift packages, said Cynthia Farmer of the USO.
The Big Band Jump, which starts at 5:30 p.m. and goes on until 8 p.m., will again be held at the Grand Galleria above the MAPes MONDe Gallery. It will feature the University of the Virgin Islands Jazz Ensemble under the direction of Martin Lamkin, with "Darr" Conradson as master of ceremonies.
Tickets are a $15 donation and they're available at Caribbean Candles at Compass Point, Deliver It Warehousing and Storage in Sub Base, Just Cuts in the Buccaneer Mall and both Modern Music shops.
