After reading the Sunday Philadelphia Inquires coverage of the West Oak Lane Jazz Festival held June 18-20, I felt it my duty as a community leader and resident of Oak Lane for over 30 years to express gratitude to State Rep. Dwight Evans and president of OARC Jack Kitchen for their positive impact on the community.

I’ve attended the West Oak Lane Jazz Festival for years, and all though the attendance this year may have paled in comparison to previous years (especially 2009) so what, it still was a magnificent event. In my opinion the jazz festival is just the icing on the cake, the true evidence of your success is in the improvements made through your programs which enhances the quality of life in my community.
Keep up the good work, I look forward to next years festival!
