[D.G.I.F.] magazine 8.1

D.G.I.F. magazine issue 8.1 is a newsletter type issue, B/W, 8 pages. The front cover contains a letter from the editor (Karen, Deborah's sister), covering the latest convention information, the announcement of a convention video that will be available, new merchandise, a thank-you from St. Mary's, plus the announcement of the release of Deborah's next album later this year.

The second page is a fan interview by Alfred Mannarino and Kenneth Gilmartin. Page three is a photo overview of the farewell party for Deborah as she left the cast of Grease after her four month stint as Rizzo in the National Touring company of Grease. The image on the left shows Deborah with her farewell cake (it's here shown in mirror-image, as it is in the magazine as well).

On the right we see a group photo of (a part of) the cast of Grease. Say cheese! This image has as caption "Grease Class Photo".

Also on page three is this image on the left. It shows Sally Struthers and Adrien Zmed giving Deborah a big hug.

The fourth page provides lots of details regarding the contests that will be held during the convention, plus some artwork by Gerry Shamray. Page five gives a few highlights of the interview Deborah gave on the AOL Celebrity Circle.

A new contest is being shown on page six, in the form of a word search puzzle. The winner gets an autographed t-shirt. A merchandise order form is shown on page seven, plus an announcement regarding the D.G.I.F. Scholarship Fund that has been established. The last page shows a picture (on the right) of Deborah singing "Stand By Me" with the boys from St. Mary's at the St. Mary's Dinner Dance benefit.
