Press Release Summary = Postcards that PostcardMania donated for military deployment
from largest military bases in Southeast United States arrive at United Service
Organization of Georgia in Savannah.

Press Release Body = Clearwater, FL, July 6, 2007 - A project merging the United
Service Organization of Georgia in Savannah and PostcardMania is one more step
toward complete. The three patriotic designs of 18,000 postcards created by
PostcardMania graphic artists have been printed and shipped and have descended upon
the largest military base in the Southeast - the Savannah area of GA. When the
remaining 4,500 soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division stationed at Ft. Stewart in
Hinesville and Hunter Army Airfield Georgia outside Savannah are deployed to Iraq,
these postcards will be waiting for them to write to their loved ones one last time
before they leave.as well as take a few with them to write home while on tour.

This project is being done by PostcardMania as part of its pro-bono division
established two years ago by owner and CEO Joy Gendusa. While the postcard marketing
guru had been participating in other projects involving donations and pro-bono work
since opening in 1998, Gendusa wanted a more organized structure to be able to help
more people. There is only one bottom line when submitting an application for
pro-bono work-those asking must be dedicated to helping mankind improve and making
the world a better place. USO Georgia\'s purpose to keep soldiers in touch with their
loved ones fits the bill.

Upon receiving the postcards, USO volunteer Paulette Nelson said this: \"I wanted to
say thank you.I am truly overwhelmed, humbled and grateful by your generosity. These
cards will serve as more than a simple piece of correspondence. They will be a link
between a family and their loved ones so far away.\"
