[jja-announce] voting and photos

[Howard Mandel]

Greetings, members --

As you know by now, I hope, the JJA is celebrating the 12th annual  
JJA Jazz Awards with a barbeque-cocktail luncheon at the Jazz  
Standard, 116 E. 27th St. NYC, on Wednesday, June 18, from 3 to 6 pm.  
Tickets for JJA members will be $40 (up to five) in advance, $75 at  
the door. Tickets for non-members are $100 in advance, $150 at the  
door. We have reserved tables for four for $1000 (principally for  
sponsors) -- all other seating will be first come/first served. Soft  
drinks, coffee, waters and ice tea are included in the ticket price,  
and there may be a sponsored toast, but otherwise so far it's gonna  
be a cash bar. And it's going to be fun -- but the Jazz Standard  
holds only 120, so if you want tickets, make reservations at  
Jazzhouse.org now!

Voting will begin next week -- I'll send another jja-announce message  
when the voting booth is open. The submissions for Jazz Photo of the  
Year will be up then, too. If anyone wants to do any electioneering  
in advance of the voting, please post your comments at the  
Jazzhouse.org BBS (you have to register, chooseing your own personal,  
private password). Keep it clean and substantive, ok? Reasons why  
someone's worth voting for are good, smears against some other  
candidate -- well, would you want our presidential candidates to go  
that way?

We are selling ads for the program book, too --

1/2 page: 4 x 5, $800
1/4 page: 4 x 2.5, $450

Ad commitments by May 23 earn a 10 % discount. All ads are black and  
white,  and must be submitted as (in order of preference)  PDF files,  
high-res TIFF or JPG files, or as a Quark file (QXD), to Andrey  
Henkin, vitaltransformation at earthlink.net, by June 9.

Thanks for your support, members, We're looing forward to this party --

best, Pres. Howard
