Get ready for sizzling jazz and cool blues at Jazz at the Met, Saturday, June 22, from 3-7 p.m., at the Metropolitan Family Services Calumet Center, 235 East 103rd St., Chicago. WVON radio’s Cliff Kelley and Precious Witherspoon will be onsite to emcee the event as you enjoy the musical talents of Liane Williams and the Beverly All-Stars, and Margaret Murphy. There also will be a spoken word performance, silent and live auctions and a mouth-watering buffet.

Metropolitan Calumet is part of Metropolitan Family Services, which has been empowering Chicago-area families to reach their greatest potential and positively impact their communities since 1857.

Proceeds benefit Metropolitan Family Services Calumet Center which has been serving Chicago’s greater Roseland community for more than 50 years.

Metropolitan Calumet is a part of Metropolitan Family Services, one of Chicago’s leading human services organizations which brings hope and opportunity to more than 53,000 families and individuals each year.
