Had some visitors from Chicago.
One of the two girls said they had found a $10 bill on the beach that morning. The father told the 6 year old she could spend it in any way she wanted, since she found it.
When they discovered our DeLorean Time Machine in the parking lot, she went to put it all into 'Mr. Compassion', (the donation container mounted to the rear.)
We've rigged it to 'reward' donors, so I gave her change, so she could have fun playing with the effects. She was so sweet and wanted to donate the entire amount! I thanked her for her generosity and suggested that she may want to save a little bit for her vacation here in Myrtle Beach. Sometimes small kids have the biggest hearts.

Drove to Moline, Illinois to the iWireless Center to help launch a hockey team (theme: 'Quack to the Future!'), and the timing was perfect to connect with several DeLorean friends near Cincinnati for a tech session. Yes, even time machines need some regular care and maintenance. Had some help and parts from great people!
Serendipity continued with Huey Lewis playing a concert, so we collected donations and spread the word about our mission while rocking out to the 'Power of Love.'
The next day, the time machine was asked to join the Montgomery 4th of July Parade and we even won a trophy!
