Stories of kids would work well, but PLUG, Jr. will be a great selling

A presentation has to balance the hard facts (we know what we are 
undertaking) with the warm and fuzzy (why these kids deserve it), and 
it helps to show that the corporate community will benefit from better 
prepared future employees.

Better future employees and/or less criminals?
As Magnus pointed out, becoming an official non-profit organization 
might be important. That sounds like a lot of effort to go through for 
one LUG. Since other LUGs seem to come up with similarly great ideas, 
what if a multi-LUG non-profit were formed?
