How nice !!! Wow....what a wonderful article.

I feel like we (the zone) are a bit of special magic fairy dust that surely Johnny leaves behind where ever he goes. Sounds silly, but I am very proud of the zone and Johnny!!

Thank you Theresa and for handling the reins on this project
and everyone involved.
It's a sweet article. Thanks emma for posting!

[In-too-Depp]

Thank you so much for posting this emma, a tribute to the zone indeed and to Johnny. I hope Johnny does visit the hospital, that would be wonderful and just the kind of thing he enjoys, if so though I hope it will be a private visit and not publicised or photographed by anyone.

I like that Kitty.
A sprinkling of fairy dust, wherever he goes.

Well, I can say that I am so proud of this very special place we have here. And I am so delighted to know that a place that has welcomed me into it, also does so much for the causes that Mr. Depp has tugging on his heart strings.
I am so proud to know that people such as Theresa, PtP, and all that represent the zone are out there, doing what they do and taking care of so many things.
And it is nice to know that others recognize them as well.

We love you Johnny, and all that you do.
Theresa, PtP, and everyone involved.

Wow, that´s great. Congratulations to Theresa!
I´m proud to be a member of the zone, I think the birthday project is a very good idea. We can celebrate Johnnys birthday and help other people with a donation. That´s wonderful and I think, the zone is a wonderful place to be. The ladies who run the zone and the board do a great and wonderful work - thank you very much!

[sweetchia]

It's such a warm fuzzy feeling to be part of a community that can reach out in this way. Thank you to all those who first came up with this amazing idea to not only honor Johnny and say "Happy Birthday", but to help those in need...and to those who continue to put their own time into organizing these tributes so that we may all participate, honor Johnny and reach out. It feels quite an honor to have our cause made public in such a way and can only help raise awareness. A big pat on the back to everyone!!!

Wow! I take great pride everytime I log in here(and I do it several times a day) What an honor not only to be a part of this lovely group of people but a great honor to share in the life of such a wonderful man! I, too, hope he visits the hospital, I am sure he will find time to do it. He always seems to find time in his life and heart to visit kiddies in need and as we have seen many times over to stop and say hello to his followers.

Thanks for the article. A nice feeling early on a Saturday morning.
