The donor has a very strong interest and a real commitment to the Multi-cultural Center. He would like to be a member of the team.

We were amazed to hear him voice this commitment. He framed it exactly as we would have.

The Berkshire Hathaway commitment generated a lot of interest, not surprisingly.

The lender will take the commitment to pay interest to the developer into account, even if you don't have to pay that interest immediately. They might not allow you to have a loan that would cause you to stretch your income too far, as you will still have to pay the full amount on the property in the future.

I'm not going to make a commitment on any name just yet.

The commitment I made to the council ... is that the building will never be a strain on the general public -- the building will always be self-sufficient. Thus far it has been self-sufficient.
