[wlug_org] Social evening to get rid of LUG $$ (was: My reasons for leaving)

[Ian Beardslee]

I think that if we are at a loss as to where the money should be spent - 
how about we adopt a project or charity - save the penguins or something 
like that.

Maybe we could look at it as a advertising 'gimmick' future events have 
something along the lines of 'all proceeds donated to the save the [red 
eyed|blue lipped|green tailed|whatever] penguin.

People can start associating the LUG with good deeds, good things and 
penguins, pengiuns and linux, linux with the LUG, the LUG with good deeds, 
good things and penguins, pengiuns and linux, linux with the LUG, the LUG 
with good deeds, good things and penguins, pengiuns and linux, linux with 
the LUG, the LUG with good deeds, good things and penguins, pengiuns and 
linux, linux with the LUG ^C^C^C^C
