Subject: JAGFanFest Announces Operation JAGfans Care


JAGFanFest 2003 is dedicated to the men and women of the Armed Forces. With so many service personnel deployed overseas right now, we have partnered with Operation Interdependence (OI) to host a "care package" drive in connection with this year's FanFest to show support for our troops.

To assist us in this endeavor, the wonderful folks at JAG have donated a raffle prize to be awarded to one lucky fan who takes part in this care package project. The prize is the 2002 Christmas gift to the cast and crew from the show. It's put out by JEEP Electronics and is described as a TV/AM/FM/Weatherband Flashlight Fluorescent Lantern. A very special gift indeed - thank you, HarrietJAG, for this terrific prize!

There are two ways to get in on this exciting opportunity:

If you're *not* going to be at the FanFest, you can make a monetary donation to OI through the FanFest either via PayPal using the donations button that will be up on our website shortly (or by e-mailing it directly to jagfanfest@yahoo.com) or by sending a check or money order payable to "Operation Interdependence" to:

JAGFanFest - Operation JAGFans Care
c/o Vickie McFarland-Richter
P. O. Box 527
Forestdale, MA 02644-0527

Mailed donations must be postmarked no later than Wednesday, September 10, to ensure your donation will be received in time for your name to be entered in the raffle drawing. The deadline for PayPal donations is Saturday, September 13.

If you *are* going to be at the FanFest, then we are asking you to bring items to put into the care packages. We will not be accepting cash donations for OI at the FanFest - only donations of supplies. Here are a few suggestions for things to put in the care packages:

Moist wipes, facial tissues, pens, pencils, stationery, stamps, dental floss, toothbrush, toothpaste, travel-size toiletries, gum, candy, phone cards, chapstick and music cds.

There will be a more complete list on our website within the next few days and feel free to use your imagination to come up with other things the troops would enjoy. Just remember that those who receive them may have to carry these things in a backpack, so think travel-size rather than economy size. This shouldn't be too hard to remember since you'll need to pack them in your suitcase for the trip. :) Or you can boost the local economy by picking up something after you arrive in California. Whichever you do, if you're coming to the FanFest, please bring a few
things with you.

Raffle tickets will be given out based on the monetary
value of the donation - participants will receive one (1) raffle ticket for each $5 (or part thereof) spent on supplies or donated outright.

Complete information on this project will be up on the
FanFest website within the next few days. Please take a minute to go up there and read all the details of this very special project and find out how you can honor the cast and crew of JAG by supporting our troops overseas.

Whether you make a cash donation or whether you bring items for the care packages, we urge you to be as generous as you can. It means a lot to our service personnel to receive these signs of support from home. For many of the men and women deployed in service to this country, these care packages will be the only ones they receive during their deployment. Let's show our troops that

JAGFANS CARE!

Greetings,

I was honored in attending your 2003 JAFFanfest event in California. I met some great Americans.

I am the founder and president of Operation Interdependence and I just wanted to take a minute to thank all of you for your support and contributions.

We have shipped all your goodies to the front lines and have launched a campaign to reach 50,000 troops prior to Christmas. If you are interested in learning more, just send me an email or visit www.oidelivers.org.

Again, thank you for all that you do.

Albert R. Renteria
