Press Release
Due to the interest of some mass media in having information about Chayanne's mother
health, Doña Irma Figueroa Arce, this office informs that actually, her health is delicate.
Because of this several medical tests are being done to her in Puerto Rico.
Chayanne, as all of you know, has always maintained his family life away from his artistic
activities. He thanks the interest of the press and asks at the same time in his own name and
in his family's, the greatest respect, consideration, and understanding, of the situation that they
are going trough at this moment.

New Video
During the last 3 days in San Bernardino's dessert, California (about 3 hours from Los Angeles), the shooting of Chayanne's new video "Boom Boom" took place. It will be launched during the next weeks only in the European Market.
The launching of this single was due to Salome's success in Europe. It was neccesary to present a new theme to mantain and add popularity to the well-known singer. The video will be presented to the press in France, where Chayanne will travel to fulfill with his t.v. obligations.
The video was produced by CLV from France, so all the production group
came from Paris to Los Angeles, where the castings and auditions for dancers and extras
were released, and all the details for the shooting were completed. This one takes
place in a complete natural ambient, being very few the elements that decorate it.
According to the video's concept, the choreography should be the main part of it, for the
fascination and good reception from the public to Chayanne's sensual and rhythmic
movements, who they qualify as best pop dancer.
Without doubts, if Europe wants to see Chayanne dancing "Boom Boom" will be
an opportunity that should not be lost.

News From Chayanne's Management
Continuing with the success he has achieved in Europe until now, last
Friday artist CHAYANNE just received the coveted "Silver Award" in France, by
sales of more than one hundred fifty thousand copies of his single "Salomé,"
which without a doubt, has opened the door for him in that one particularly difficult
market.
Also, he took advantage of his visit to launch, exclusively, in the
well-known television channel 2 in France, and in stellar schedule, his second Spanish
single for that particular market. The song recently recorded by the artist is entitled
"Boum Boum" and although it was composed by a Frenchman, Estefano produced and
arranged the song.
According to Sony Discos, they hope that this song will become the hit of the summer based
on the high praises and positive welcome that it received during its launching in France.

Final Message From Jeannie
Hi, Chayfans,
I am writing you to say goodbye to all of you, and especially to the good friends I've made at this website. This will be my last message, as I am no longer going to be an active fan promoting Chayanne, nor a participant in any Chayanne website.
I can't adequately express how much I've enjoyed all of my activities with you all, and especially my wonderful relationship with Melanie, our webmaster. She is undoubtedly one of the kindest, smartest and general all-around "first-class" women I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with. I think we've been wonderful partners. I have nothing but affection and admiration for her!
My reasons for leaving have nothing to do with Melanie or this website, but instead have to do with frustration in my role as liaison to Chayanne's management. I do not intend to discuss this situation at length either on this Message Board or in private email among Chayfans. This situation is between me and them, and that's my final word.
I will miss you all terribly, but as we all know will happen, we'll all adjust, and Melanie's website will go on thriving. My love and good wishes go out to you all -
And, for the last time

News From Nancy - Chayanne's Lead Dance Partner
Recently, we spoke with Nancy, Chayanne's lead dance partner, about some of your questions and requests of her. First the BAD news, and then the GOOD news:
THE BAD NEWS: As to whether she will be with Chayanne on his NEXT tour (to support the NEW CD) - she said that she isn't sure if she will be back with Chayanne for the next album, that they've now been together for over 2 1/2 years. Nancy said that sometimes it's nice to change dancers and to see new faces, but, that she will see what happens.
Now, THE GOOD NEWS: Nancy has agreed to a "chat" in the Chayfans Chat Room! (We will arrange the chat AFTER the current tour ends.)
Thanks, Nancy, for your friendliness and willingness to share with Chayfans!

It's time to create our Valentine's Day Booklet for Chayanne!
Here are the ground rules:
You are sending Chayanne Valentine wishes, not telling him of your wishes, asking for signed photos, tour books, etc. This is for Chayanne.
All wishes must be received by February 7th (any wishes received after that date will not be included). Please understand that I am boarding a plane on the 10th to see the man himself in Mexico and this gives me only 2 whole days to prepare the book and PACK!
Chayanne will receive the booklet before Valentine's Day.
Send your wishes to valentine@chayfans.org.
Please do not make your wishes any longer than what would fill one 8.5 by 11 page with 12 point font. This will assure that your message fits on one page at a reasonable size.
Do not use all capital letters.
Write your message in any language. It will not be translated.
You will receive an e-mail confirmation from me upon receipt of your greeting.
Please include your name, e-mail, and country to show Chayanne how international Chayfans.org is.
I promise to put together a Valentine's Booklet you all can be proud of. If you have any questions, send them to me at benitodesigns@msn.com.

Chayfans.org Venezuelan Relief Effort
Many of you know about the plans for Chayfans.org to make a group donation to the American Red Cross for the Victims of the deadly flooding and mudslides in Venezuela. We have set the "deadline" for next Friday, January 14th. So if you plan to donate, please send your check as soon as you can. Email me for my address if you don't already have it. For those who have already sent their donation THANKS! We are over the $1,000.00 mark!!
To recap here is the plan:
I contacted the American Red Cross and they told me that if you wish to donate, please
make a check payable to the "American Red Cross." You can send it direct to your
local chapter. But I thought would be nice if we could gather up the checks from those who
want to donate and send them to the American Red Cross as a lump sum on behalf of
"Chayfans.org - Chayanne's Fans".
So here is what I have proposed, make your check to the American Red Cross
and send them to me. I will then forward the checks to the Red Cross Chapter located near
me, with the specific mention that the money be used for the Venezuelan Flood Victims.
I took the following quote from the Little Judy's La Musica News today.
"While an accurate account of the tragedy remains unknown, many estimate the deaths could number as high as 20,000. What is known is that more than 23,000 homes have been destroyed and 200,000 Venezuelans have been left homeless."
These people really need our help. So send what you can and don't worry if
you are not able to contribute very much. Every little bit will help once it is pooled
with the money worldwide
Ciao,
Jeni
