If 100 members of this site kicked in twenty bucks each, we'd have 2 grand to build the memorial. I'd just want to know exactly how the money was going to be used. You know, definite plans so our money didn't vanish into thin air.

Precisely, I've talked to OTTO, and want everyones input! I'm gonna call on several Tiki Carvers ( at least one of whom has offered to carve up a tiki ) to see if they are interested in doing somework. It would be a great publicity thing to carve a Tiki For the Memorial, heck might even get us a discount ( Free would be damn nice! ).
Right now, write the Tampa Tribune, and let them know you want a tiki (maybe a few!) back at Tiki Gardens.
I actually think the Mayors comments were quite hopeful, other comments in the article were much more condescending.
Set aside your $20.00, and we won't need any "yuppie money".
It's time to start this discussion, and I hope every one chimes in, the raising of a tiki at Tiki Gardens could be a huge Tiki Event.
