After Chris’s proposal to the County Commissioners, they sat on proposal for a while then denied the request for the statue. A lot of people here and elsewhere helped out with support, either verbal or monetary. We all wanted to see this happen, even if we all didn’t donate. But I guess the city had other plans. I think it’s pretty freaking cool that Chris made the proposal and really gave it his all to get this pushed through – ideas like this are talked about all the time but rarely get past the “talking about it” stage. I think it’s great that the Fund got donations amounting to hundreds of dollars, too. Everyone who pitched in should be commended. The current plan is to have the money that was donated be returned, and I’m going to help out Otto with this. If you donated via Paypal, the money will be Paypal’ed back to you. For people who donated by check: we never got a good tally of TikiCentral-names to real-names, so please send me an email to with your tiki central name, your real name, the amount you donated, and your address, as this will make it easier to sync up with Otto. Sorry, we’re still working out the logistics of this process. ~Hanford [ Edited by: hanford_lemoore on 2003-04-26 04:21 ]
