Dear Jazz Club members and friends: It is with a heavy heart that we report the death on 22 July 2023 of our beloved Potomac River Jazz Club President and friend Janina "Bunny" Roncevic. Bunny had been a member of the Board of Directors for a number of years before assuming the presidency in early 2021. She had just celebrated her 80th birthday on July 1 when she was stricken by pneumonia and other complications. Beyond her duties as President of the club, Bunny was the force behind the "festiveness" of the club - she ensured we had balloons, king cakes and cupcakes, table decorations and chocolates. She was instrumental in acquiring several grants for the club, and was always an energetic spokeswoman for the club. She will be missed dearly by all who knew her.
 The PRJC board will shortly be finalizing how we can best pay lasting tribute to our pal and colleague - a person who got great joy out of the music and who shared that enthusiasm without reservation. We will miss her dearly. - Your PRJC Board of Directors
