Press Release Summary = PostcardMania joins US 103.5's "Postcards From Home" program
to bring holiday wishes from Tampa Bay citizens to the troops overseas.

Press Release Body = Clearwater, FL, 25 October 2006 - In support of the American
Troops, PostcardMania announced today that they have donated the design and printing
of 50,000 Holiday Greetings postcards for America soldiers deployed overseas in
coordination with US 103.5's "Postcards From Home" program. "Postcards From Home",
sponsored by US 103.5 and radio personality, Skip Mahaffey, has been instrumental in
sending out over 75,000 holiday postcards from listeners to troops overseas in the
past six years. This year, with PostcardMania's help, they plan to surpass that
number.

There are three hundred thousand American Troops deployed around the world and the
majority of them will not be home this holiday season. Tampa Bay citizens are being
urged to convey their encouragement and thanks by sending a personal note to these
soldiers via a postcard. The 50,000 postcards PostcardMania are printing are a
series of holiday designs that are blank on the back side for Tampa Bay citizens to
write their messages.

"Over the years we\'ve heard from military personnel all over the world who have told
us that these postcards helped them through a very lonely holiday season,\" said Skip
Mahaffey.

Schools, churches, retirement homes and other organizations should call into US
103.5 to reserve postcards in the quantities they need by calling 813 832 1444. By
November 10th, postcards should be dropped off to any Buddy's Home Furnishings
location (www.buddyrents.com). This deadline is necessary to ensure all the
postcards will arrive to the American Troops overseas in time for the Holidays.

"This is a really good thing that US 103.5 is doing," said Joy Gendusa, CEO of
PostcardMania; "A simple postcard with a heartfelt message means so much to the men
and women that are far away from home and missing their families."

Tampa Bay citizens can also tune into US 103.5 for more details of the program.
