Zynga has teamed up with Direct Relief International to help the victims of the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan. It's never a good idea to use your Reward Points to buy Marketplace items but this is the exception. When you log into your account, you will get a pop-up to remind you of the cause.
You can go to the Marketplace directly from the pop-up or visit the Marketplace at a later time. Remember pop-ups are there because players use them. I always close pop-ups and go to the page from the game. 100% of the proceeds from purchasing a Japanese Fan will go to Direct Relief International and be used for earthquake and tsunami relief.
You can also purchase the Japanese Fan from your Home Page module.
The Japanese Fan is an awesome Armor item and has stats of 101/125! I'm sure this item helped with my attack as well as my defense score but there is a problem with notification of attack score increases in the Marketplace. If you purchase an item that only improves your attack score, it will say defense. This has been going on for a long time.
If you help out, make sure you tell your friends and get the word out. This is one bit of spam I didn't mind posting.
