As long as we're on the subject... I've mentioned a few times that I thought our space might benefit from being an official non-profit organization, and I've been asked to give my 'pitch' as to why I think it would be a good idea.<br>
<br>
I have my own thoughts on it, but since so many other spaces are NPOs or in the process, or thinking about it, I'd like to hear why others are pursuing becoming an NPO and what you hope to get out of it.<br>

thanks!<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
