There have been several requests for an update on the status of Jonifest attendees so far. It's not too late to join us! There are a few beds left, plenty of camping space, and the option of a day pass. Check it all out at: www.jmdl.com/Jonifest2002. You can see all the information without registering for the Fest. Check out the Information page and the Question and Answer page
for all the detailed information!! Even if you are not planning on attending, you can join in the fun (and greatly help to keep jmdl.com up and running!) and receive a special Jonfest giveaway by making a donation to Les Irvin for the JMDL. The time you have spent here in good company certainly is worth a donation of some sort, don't you think? Please make JMDL donation checks payable to: "Les Irvin" and send to: Ashara Productions, LLC 40 Parsonage Lane Topsfield, MA 01983 There is also a Scholarship Fund to help those that are having financial difficulties getting to Jonifest this year. If you would like to donate to this fund, please make those checks payable to "Ashara Productions, LLC." They are sent to the same address above. Donations for the giveaways and raffle items can also be sent to this address. If you are not sure what kinds of things we are looking for, how about a Joni momento, a CD that you have put out, (Victor? Gregg? Kate? David Lahm? Christene? Jenny? Anne? Bryan?) a Joni songbook, t-shirt, poster, video, book, picture, etc. If you'd like to donate something, but aren't sure what to give, you can always go to e-bay, do a search for Joni Mitchell, and perhaps get something not too pricey. The giveaways and raffle make it much more festive, and also helps to raise money for the JMDL website. To see how far we are spanning the globe this year: This Jonifest represents 21 States, 9 countries, and 5 Continents so far!!!!
