Ok, to make it easier for discussion about raising a Tiki at Tiki Gardens, I've started this thread.
I hope everyone will use this thread to make suggestions, and help out with this.
Given the fact that the Mayor of Indian Shores at least thinks
``It's not a bad idea; there's a lot of history to the place,"
Lets see what we can do to convince him.
Carvers contact me.

Kailuageoff made the observation that if 100 members kicked in $20.00 each we'd have the money that would be in the neighborhood of the Mayors estimate of what it would cost to raise a tiki at Tiki Gardens.
Now instead of collecting the money up front before we explore the idea fully with the proper people, how about this ( Ottos idea by the way )
Anyone willing to join in makes a pledge, this is only a pledge, so the money stays in your pocket until the day comes that we get the go ahead.
So, let the pledge drive begin.
I'll pledge $300.00 to begin with. And if I can, I'll front more. But being a blue collar stiff, I have to play it close to the vest with the ducats.
----2,000.00
minus 300.00

_____1700.00 to go.
Next? Tiki Spirit (tm) anyone?

Greeting from Brooklyn!
Count us in on whatever we can do.. We've been in touch w/ Tiki Gardener and already pledged our allegnece to the project. Our design firm would be more than happy to add our serves if appropriate to the petition or any method of convincing the powers-that-be in IRB to reserect the Tiki's on their original site.

We'll pledge $40, the same amount I just spent on a Hawaiian Village mug.
Come on everyone, think about what you spend on e-bay each month -- or for a couple of fog cutters -- and commit a similar amount to this effort. If we are successful doing this project, perhaps we can do some other tiki conciousness raising elsewhere. It would give our interest in tiki a little more substance than pub crawls and mug collecting (not that there is anything wrong with the before mentioned acitivities).

Ok, that's me in for £12.90 ($20)
You can now claim 'international interest'!

Sounds like a neat idea. What the heck, I can eat top ramen for a couple weeks if it means I helped bring one more tiki into the world. Put me down for a twenty spot ($20.00). How about having a design contest and the winner gets there vision carved by one of the TCs carvers. Kinda like the shecky deal.
