That club was run by a completely different group in London who were only in it for the money. When the profits faded so did their service. We are a non-profit small group of Sam's freinds and fans who are in it to give Sam's fans a place to share ideas and info. Since we have none of the money or products the first Club had, we can't offer you a refund on that money. However, as thanks for being a fan for so long, we offer members of her old club membership with us for *half price!* Normal membership in the new Club is $20. Send us a copy of your old membership card (showing the number) and we'll sign you up for $10. =========================================================================== = ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEEN ON TV: Charles in Charge [1989 Episode] (1/2 Sitcom T.V show) - played the character "Samantha Steele" Hollywood Squares (Celebrity Game Show) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- MOVIE PRESENCE: - A topless Sam Poster is pinned to a wall in the Christina Applegate film "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead."
