I believe all members need to understand the immense expense associated with putting on a Fest. I could not believe the numbers this evening as I started listing them. The Mi Committee will also go over my figures later in October to confirm my addition etc. But you are all to be commended for registering, joining in buying shirts, those ordered and those donated, the raffle alone on Sunday evening brought in almost $1000. We could not have done it without each and everyone's contribution, even those that did not attend, many registered to support the event. It was on my credit card, my heartfelt thanks goes out to all of you.

An additional $300 plus was taken in from the sale of last years over production of shirts by pizzaman and will find its way to him. He donated the rest of at least 100 shirts to Garrett for relief in El Salvador. So TDI club members spent just over $7200.00 on this years fest. Incredible folks, simply amazing, your support was greatly appreciated, we hope you felt your money was well spent. Thanks again.
