 F & F gave club members a free incentive if they renewed their club membership before March 31, 1999.  It was a lapel pin called And The Stars!   The 1999 Club Membership piece You Are My Shining Star is retired and can no longer be ordered through F & F.  The only way a collector can purchase this figurine is to locate a dealer who still has an 99 Instant Club kit in their store.  This is the second year of the Leaf & Acorn Club.

On May 16, 1999 a store called Holiday Fantasies from Colorado had an auction where various lines donated items.  It benefited the Dave Sanders Football Field Fund at Columbine High School from Littleton.  F & F donated some items that were sold as a lot.  Collector Dana Brenneman from Florida won the bid for $150.  It included: 

• a 1999 Leaf and Acorn Club membership kit with all the items signed and the thank you card personalized by Dean
• an exclusive embroidered shirt signed by Dean on the pocket
• two of the party "tags" Dean did for the Long Beach ICE show

The negative to You Are My Shining Star was reversed for the photos in the catalogs and on the box.
