Many others have voiced the same thing. Everyone, please hear this loud and
clear!!! There are many, many people that come to Jonifest that are not
musicians. Jonifest is all about meeting each other, getting together once a
year to be in community, and, of course, there is lots and lots of music to
play, sing, OR just sit back and enjoy! Please do not feel that you must play
an instrument or sing to attend. Nothing could be farther from the truth!
It looks like there will be a VERY large crowd this year!!! I cannot stress
enough how getting the following done as soon as possible will make it easier
for me:
1) Joni the Labor Day Mailing List: (send a blank e-mail message to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) I'm sure the Joni-onlys will very
much appreciate it when we take this off-list, which I promise will be soon!
2) Fill out the questionnaire completely. ( <A
HREF="http://www.jmdl.com/jfne2001.cfm">jmdl.com - New England JoniFest
2001:</A> ) For those of you bringing you significant others, please fill one
out for each of you, especially food preferences.
3) Send a hard copy picture, food form, check for food (payable to me), and
check for Jim Johanson (payable to him), to:
Ashara Stansfield
P.O. Box 215
Topsfield, MA 01983
4) Send any giveaway items to the same address.
The ONLY way this does not become a burden for me, is if I don't have to
chase people down for all this information. The checks for food don't need to
be in until closer to the date, but everything would be appreciated as soon
as you can. Thanks so much!!
So far, we have raised $370.00 for Jim. That is a very good start! I will
remind you that the need is very great for Jim this year, and there is much
graitude for digging deep if you are able. Every single dollar counts, large
or small.
That's about it. Please don't be shy about attending Jonifest whether you are
a musician or not. If you are even "thinking" about attending Jonifest, maybe
you could drop me a line privately? I'd like to get a preliminary idea of the
numbers.
Hugs,
Ashara
