. In addition to the initial honorarium support, New Blankets has<br>
also launched a "1 : 1 matching mini-fundraiser" during the<br>
coming month (October 14 - November 14, 2013), to further support<br>
Jonathan and the Artist-in-Transit Fellowship:<br>
<br>
1) That is, any contributions to New Blankets during Oct 14 - Nov 14<br>
which you kindly care to make and designate for "Artist in Transit"<br>
will be matched 1 for 1 by New Blankets -- up to a $500 matching<br>
limit.<br>
2) At the end of the one month mini-fundraiser, the total sum<br>
(your contributions + NB matching amount) will be presented to<br>
