shirlJAM news
Mike and I would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped make our 'Making Strides Against Breast Cancer' fundraising campaign such a rousing success! You really came through, and it's so appreciated. To each of you that purchased the special shirlJAM t-shirt, be sure to send me a photo of you rockin' your shirt in your favorite environment, so that I can include it in my photo gallery of Boobies Brigade members! And to those of you who opted to just contribute cash, again, we THANK YOU so very much! |

Excerpts from recent testimonials:
"Shirley (shirlJAM) was such a treat to have at the winery! She has a wide range of music that appeals to all guests and was very engaged with the audience. It was such a great touch to see her interact with the crowd. She went to every table to make sure they felt welcome and were enjoying themselves. We highly recommend her for any event that you may have, large or small!"
