Actually, I was probably the one who mentioned this.  It was in the context 
of generating interest / marketing our group and Linux in general.  I made 
the comment that if we were to do, say for example, an install-fest, and 
asked for donations of $1.00 per install, and then donated the revenue, PLUG 
would fall into the realm of a non-profit organization, which when combined 
with donating to charity, offers us the ability to get free press / 
publicity from local news media via coverage, publishing of press releases, 
etc.
