| | How do I join? | Join the guild by subscribing to the IJDG's Members group, "Joolcrafting". This Yahoo group is used as our mailing list for all members if the IJDG & you MUST be a member of Joolcrafting to become a member of the IJDG.
You must fill out the application that is emailed to you and email it back to the address provided within 14 days. It will then be reviewed by the IJDG's owner and management team for membership consideration.

| | Can I market to this group? | Yes, within reason. Suppliers may make announcements or market directly to the list, or respond publicly and/or private to WTB (want to buy) or offer solutions to presented problems.
Marketing that becomes excessive will be curtailed.
| | What is the volume of mail on the mailing list? | About 35-50 messages per week. | | | More help on the list "commands" here. |
