"No one has a better national events page than you (no one even comes close). No One. It is the source I always send people to.

" ~ Kevin St. Laurent of kevinandcarla.com "Thanks so much! I've updated EVERYTHING on the calendar now. (Your calendar site rocks!)" ~ Elan of lindyexchange.com (Seattle) "Sounds like a lot of work! I'll get some stuff together to send ya! Thanks, Peter." ~ Peter Loggins "Thanks Jody. I will make sure that you receive the appropriate info and ahead of time.

Thanks for doing all this work for the community." ~ Natalie Gomes of hopswingjump.com "Let me just kiss the ground you walk on, you've got the most comprehensive calendar anybody in the scene could possibly have... I will have the site updated hopefully by the end of the week, if not after the anniversary party.

THE CANADIAN LINDY EMAIL LINKS PAGE (now ended) Originally started as a Toronto page and grew to be a Canadian Dancer Listing, with photo, name and email link. This area was very time consuming and difficult to maintain and I decided to discontinue it. These comments were emailed to me. (Comments not related, ie/ changes in information/additions etc... were edited out.) Thank you very much for all your work into putting this together! I love the picture/email idea - i've already learned the names of a few people I see around but didn't know their names before! ~ June Quah (Toronto) "The page looks great Jody! Great idea." ~ Alex Paradi (Toronto) "Cool Page Jody!! And a Great service. Nothing is worse then having to ask the name of someone with whom one has been dancing or seeing around for months! Cheers. " ~ Christine Racicot (Toronto) "Its a great idea, thanks :)" ~ Kathy Mayo(Toronto) "I think this is great what you are doing." ~ Cherene Bajin (Toronto) "Ohhhhhh, I get it now! What a great idea. Yes, I would like to be added to the list. I can see if I can provide you with a picture. Hmmm. I'll work on it." ~ Laura James (Toronto) "Hi Jody! What a great idea. - you are amazing. Thanks for doing this." ~Andrea Basevitz (Toronto) "Jody, you are a DYNAMO! Yay, I get to be on your page, even though I'm not technically from Toronto? I feel special. You're the best for taking this on, best of luck! " ~ Laura Stewart (Kingston) "Subject: Toronto Lindy List Hi Jody, and thank you for doing this. I do not have a photo of myself that I can send, but I am happy just to be on the lindy list." ~ Brenda Kotras (Toronto) "Hey Jody :) Thanks for putting this list together, just looking at the ppl you've got on there already I've corrected myself on names. Thanks!" ~ Maureen Duffy (Toronto) "hey jody - great page with the photos and names! i've occasionally thought that exactly such a thing was needed. i'm not joking..." ~Solomon Douglas (Toronto/Cleveland) "Well, would you mind if we steal your idea? I love your photo/e-mail page, and it'd be fun to do one here too. Maybe if you can get cities to all just do their own, all you'd have to maintain is an index page. No idea when I'll be able to get to that, but let me know if you like the idea. ~Rhonda Arsenault (Ottawa)
