Hi TikiChris,
I started to write otto and ask that he answer your question, but I thought it might be better that I do.
You are absolutely correct and I should be very clear on this; even if you send in your pledge there is no guarantee the county will accept our proposal and allow us to finance and build this tiki. But as I mentioned just a few minutes ago the county will almost certainly not seriously consider our proposal without a trust fund statement showing the funding is in place. If you put yourself in their place for just a moment, it's not hard to empathize; they don't know who we are, where we're coming from, what our motivation is, and whether we're a credible group or a bunch of crackpots, that's the whole purpose of the trust fund. So yes, sending in your pledge does involve a leap of faith; if this helps answer your question, I've turned complete control of the account- including online money transfer and checkwriting capabilities over the $3,000 I started the account with- over to otto. As I've said in previous posts, we've seriously done our homework and we're confident we are prepared to address any and every issue the county may have regarding our proposal. good question, thanks, chris y
