Spike, This article http://www.countytimes.com/articles/2013/04/03/life/doc515c836d6e98e671420994.txt?viewmode=default

lists 3 charities that the money is donated to:

EverWonder Children’s Museum
Sandy Hook Family Healing Fund
Adopt A Sandy Hook Cop

Are the charities the same this year?

[spikes85]

Yes sir those were our initial choices we couldn't donate to the adopt a cop program because they were not an official 501 c3 in the Children's Museumwas something we decided to donate to at a later date after speaking with the attorney general's office resident in Newtown etc and the family healing find was working under the umbrella of a nother charities 501 c3 like I said we are very thorough and where the funds go to you can contact Scotthe's in charge of the Newtown Police Union and we also donated to the Sandy Hook Rotary Club Sandy Hook school which if you check on the event page has a very thorough description and mission statement of who they cover like I said there were tons of places we wanted to donny to put everything had to be ok,d by the Attorney Generals office

bottom line is I am re register this year my show is it go if it was any shady dealings from last year I wouldn't be able to do it again this year so if i did anything by not inviting to the state and local regulations why would I be able to do it again ....exactly

[spikes85]

I had a very good interview on NBC right before I donated checks to the two charities I also have photos of the checks also have photos of me giving to charities letters from the charities recognizing my donations so like I said I'm upfront about everything if anybody would like to see any of this just send me an email I'll be glad to get it over to you but once again it's nice to know that there are some good intention people out there that are just trying to ensure the legitimacy of a charity but I'm on the up and up

[DavidS]

Very cool Spike. I'm going to do my best to attend this event.

You can tell him about this Joe. I know he heard about this post from you. That is all. No, I'm not mad at you.

Well if someone is going to make a statement like that George should atleast be given the opportunity to stand up for himself, can you blame him for being mad? Saying he's ripping everyone off for 10s of thousands of dollars is a pretty substantial accusation wouldnt you say? Especially without any kind of factual evidence. I dont think you would appreciate someone spreading rumors around like that about you, I certainly wouldn't. I'd hope you arent mad at me for something you said.

Shit don't bother me but you won't see me there.
