The Signal

Benefit Concert for Jan Sanborn and Loren Janes

- By John Favalessa, Elder First Presbyteri­an Church

With a little help from our community and a little help from all of the First Presbyteri­an Newhall Church musicians and singers, we will give a gift to Jan Sanborn and her husband, Loren Janes, a highly honored Hollywood stuntman. Jan is a marvelous pianist, composer and arranger. Jan is well known in the world of music and her talents are in high demand. Unfortunat­ely, they lost their home in the Sand fire this summer. When Jan was able to go back to see the condition of their home, she was stunned to find that everything had burned to the ground. The only thing left standing was the harp from her beautiful grand piano. Even Loren’s safe, that held and protected years of film depicting his fine stunt work, had melted into a puddle of metal. We are presenting a musical fundraiser for Jan and Loren on Sunday, November 6, at 4 p.m. in our sanctuary. We will have lots of wonderful music from the Chancel Choir; Praise Band; our Hand Bell choir, the “Ringtones”; Jim Perodi, our organist; Marie Gilbert, pianist; and Ben Ginsberg, the pianist from the Ojai Community Chorus. There may be some surprise guests. And, you want to be there for a great afternoon of music. Your free-will offering will go directly to Jan and Loren to help rebuild their lives and create new memories for their future. Be part of our simple gift of love for them.

First Presbyteri­an Church is located at 24317 N. Newhall Ave, Newhall, California 91321
