Greetings jazz lovers, and longtime friends,
It is with sadness that we report that Eric Offner, the
founder & president of The Sidney Bechet Society,
passed on, early Tuesday morning.
 
Eric's declining health had prevented him from attending
our last two concerts. He passed quietly in his sleep, in
the comfort of his own home, where he had hosted many
SBS events over the years. 
 
A memorial service will be held on Long Island,
Sunday, June 8th, at 1:30pm, at the
48 Shelter Rock Rd, Manhasset, NY 11030
(516) 627-6560
 
A further memorial, in Manhattan, will follow in the
coming months. We will keep you informed & updated.
 
In lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to:
Drug Fighters School
c/o Reach the Children
Attn: Mary Harris, Executive Director
14 Chesham Way, Fairport, NY 14450
 
All the best,
Donald, Phil, Geri and the SBS family
