On Saturday, Jan. 12, from noon to 1 p.m. the Medfield High School Jazz Band will be performing at Lord's Department Store as a way to thank the Kelly family for many years of selling tickets to high school music performances, plays, Trolley Tours and other community events.

Organizers call this "musical therapy" to help the community deal with last week's news that the iconic store will be closing next month after 73 years in business. 

The public is encouraged to stop into Lord’s during the event to express their own appreciation for the support the Kelly family and Lord's staff have provided to Medfield community groups over the years.

Also during the event, tickets will be on sale for the Jazz Band’s Feb. 2 “Jazzin’ for China” fundraising event at The Center at Medfield. This is the last community event to which Lord’s is selling tickets before it closes. Individual tickets are $50; $5 discount available per ticket when purchased as a table.
