Actually, to get non-profit status, you just go into the building to the left of the state capital, fill out a form, and submit it. There's no charge for a non-profit. I think you just need the names of the people involved. You can also download the form from the state website I think. I don't think it's that much trouble. Although, my taxes are complicated enough as it is, so my name would stay far far away from that application. :) -----Original Message----- From: Marc A.

I would be in favor of something like think geek. We could have some t-shirts, mugs, ... made with a tclug logo and make a slight profit off the sales. At least its voluntary. The t-shirts would also help get the word out about the group. With a couple of us wearing them around the U, I'm sure we would start to see some new faces. Of course this system would take a lot of work by someone to organize and file wit the gov.
