That is correct. While more split than ever before, it was that way more than ten years ago.

OK, the first offering for the restoration is for a TC carver providing a new Tiki mask donation for the reconstructed A-Frame.

Maybe we could do a Amish raising the barn kind of effort to restore the A-Frame.

Otto also sent this out today for a contact to the Tropics

...this puts it in serious risk of demolition... I feel that some effort is needed from us all to convince the owners to restore it, as oppose to just knocking it down. ... it's an icon worth taking the effort to save.

...here is the contact info for the Tropics, should anyone decide to write and tell them they care enough and would like to see it repaired.....Telling them how much you like staying there and are looking forward to staying there again soon would help too, since it seems that money talks when it comes to the current "management".

I emailed the Tropics today to vote for restoring the A-Frame.

Don't forget to vote early and often.
