venues. A primary goal of LVJS is to foster a greater understanding of jazz by young people through promoting the teaching and performance of jazz in all schools. And, by assisting as much as possible in the planning and staging of jazz concerts or festivals as may be initiated within the school system and other educational facilities. LVJS will also endeavor, within their means, to provide scholarships to deserving students who wish to further their knowledge and skill in the field of jazz music. Finally, LVJS shall cooperate and correspond with other organizations having cultural interests in common in order to preserve and also develop our cultural heritage; whenever feasible, LVJS will enter jointly with such organizations to produce special events.
