There was a pledge drive some time ago to erect a tiki at the the site of Tiki Gardens. Pledges were offered but a few weeks later when it came time to put up the money many people backed out. We can avoid that by setting up an account (Paypal or otherwise) with a trusted TC member that people could donate what they want to (anonymously or not). When the amount reaches $250 the treasurer sends a check to Annette. Paypal is nice because it's faster than waiting for checks (which may bounce, especially if coming from me!). But with Paypal there's a small fee for payments from credit cards.
