1) That is, any contributions to New Blankets during Oct 14 - Nov 14 which you kindly care to make and designate for "Artist inTransit" will be matched 1 for 1 by New Blankets -- up to a $500 matching limit. 2) At the end of the one month mini-fundraiser, the total sum (your contributions + NB matching amount) will be presented to Jonathan at *PdWeekend* -- to be held Nov 15-17, 2013 with Miller Puckette & Friends in San Diego and Los Angeles CA.
