We wanted to start this back up again early to try and raise as much money as possible for this year's vigil. To those of you that don't know, Nel Hoon spends a lot of money on the vigil every year, trying to make it as comfortable and enjoyable for us as possible. Last year we thought if we all came together and donated a little bit, we could make the vigil cost free for Nel and we did. Let's try to do that again this year by contributing to the Vigil fund! 'With a red light shining on a little unity' To donate via Paypal (easiest and safest method), please go to: vigilfundraiser.chipin.com/shannon-hoon-vigil-2009To donate via cash, check or money orders, please PM me. MELONHEADS UNITE!

I want to go to the vigil this year. Where can I find out information? I am wanting to connect with other melonheads out there. I went to West Lafayette a couple of years ago on the anniversary of Shannon's death. Nobody was at the cemetary and the bar turned off the Blind Melon song halfway through the song because the bar was closing. I was amazed that nobody knew or seemed to care. In his own home town!

Welcome to the forum, ptwonnate! Check out the vigil section of this forum... It'll give you a better idea of what it's like, who comes, etc. Go to the Vigil FAQ thread for more information and feel free to ask questions! Hope to see you there in September!!

I think it's great that you're starting this again earlier. She needs all the help she can get and po folks like me can add 5 or 10 bucks at a time and, by the end, have actually helped to Make A Difference. You rock Gabbee!!! #rock#

Thanks Diana, but the credit is all Matt's! He's the one that came up with the idea and everything, I'm merely looking after this one. And it's true that no donation is ever too small... If we all put in a little, in the end we'll have a lot to give!

I have never been to the vigil and I hope to go this year....but, the thing is...I can't believe that there are so many good-hearted and generous people on here and only three people have donated to the vigil fund??? I just don't understand. I know it's still early (the vigil IS a ways off) but, what's the deal people? Easy there, Killer! Not everyone on here has the funds/ability to be able to donate monitarily, but we help in other ways. People do what they can and give what they can. This economy sucks, but we're tryin'!

No worries! It's all gravy, trust me, if I ever won the lottery, Nel would never have to pay for another vigil ever!
