And contribute to Joe's Birthday present at the same time!
This
.28 cent stamp has been produced in a limited quantity of 100. Each
Stamp is mounted on a 4x6 postcard and numbered from 1 to 100. The
proceeds from this stamp will give the Joe Mauer fan club a presence on
the Tradition Wall at the new stadium. There is also a glass plaque
that will be given to Joe for his Birthday this April. When you visit
the plaza and see our name listed, you can be happy to know you played
a part in making it happen. A great way to show your support for Joe.The Joe Mauer Fan Club began in March 2004. It began with a small website and a Yahoo! sports Group called joemauerfanclub. The Yahoo group allows us to share pictures calendar events, postings, live chat and much more. You can read and post messages without joining but the other features require a valid e-mail address to join. http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/joemauerfanclub/
During the 2004 Season the JMFC gained around 40 combined members from online contacts and those I met at the games. On Saturday May 14th, 2005 Joe signed the Joe Mauer Fan Club member certificate. The certificate is given to all members of the club and must also be signed by the Club President to be valid. By signing the member certificate Joe also gave us recognition and endorsement of the Joe Mauer Fan Club.
Please take a moment to read the Objectives and rules listed below if you are considering joining us. We welcome all ages and support diversity within our club.

The Joe Mauer fan club believes in giving back to the community so we donated this couch full of fuzzy bears to the Burnsville Police department for their squad cars. Since this donation we have also donated stuffed animals to the Lakeville and Farmington Police departments.
Occasionally the officers find themselves in situations where a small child might find comfort in a stuffed animal. Each one of the bears proudly wears it's Joe Mauer fan club button!
