I'm constantly amazed and humbled by the generosity shown by the people who travel from all corners to West Tennessee for a weekend. In addition to the cash dropped in the Tip Jar by those who can show up, donations come in via PayPal and after the dust settles I like to make sure those who couldn't be here wouldn't prefer I send their money back since they weren't here to enjoy it. I get replies like "Consider it a contribution to the general merriment" and "That money was meant for Eddie. That's where it should go."

I am rich beyond measure.

This year's check to the EKIII Charitable Trust currently totals $1,557.00
