KCLUG:

LinuxFund.org is offering you a unique and easy way for KCLUG to make 
some quick cash and help support open source: sell our credit card and 
get cash. As a fellow Linux User Group president, David Mandel, the 
illustrious head of the local LUG based in Portland, Oregon and 
Technical Director of the LinuxFund.org, knows all about the personal 
expenses required to fully operate a successful group. It is because of 
his pain and yours that we at the LinuxFund.org thought about setting up 
bake sales to help LUGs, but frankly "Kansas Geeks in the Kitchen" would 
be too much for even us to handle. Instead we've come up with a simple 
solution: sell our credit card for cash.

Cash you say? The LinuxFund.org does its part to assist the Linux 
community by giving grants to fund open source projects. We do this by 
raising money through the official LinuxFund.org Mastercard (it even has 
Tux on it!). A portion of each purchase that is made with the card goes 
to us and we in turn fund various projects that are submitted to us.

Now, you're still asking, where's the money right? Well here it is: for 
every approved new cardholder that is recruited from your LUG, you get 
$30. Let's do the math, shall we? Assume that you get the 30 of your 
members to sign up for the card and 15 of them are credit worthy. You 
will then receive $450. This will save you the heartache of continuously 
forking over your hard earned cash. Your LUG will receive a cheque every 
quarter as well as bi-weekly updates concerning the application rates of 
your group.

All you need to do now is follow these simple steps:
(1) Visit our website (linuxfund.org) and review the contract.
(2) Fill out the forms on the site.
(3) Embed our two-line, unobtrusive message at the bottom of you LUG 
mailing list e-mails (yes, it's really that easy).
(4) Sit back, relax, wait for the cheques to arrive and start spending.

We'd like to thank your LUG for being a crucial part of the Linux 
community and we hope that you'll jump at this truly unique opportunity 
to continue to support open source. If you need more information, please 
do not hesitate to call me at 503-892-3333, or e-mail me, Candace, at 
candace at linuxfund.org.

Also, if you would like someone to show up at a meeting, we may be able 
to arrange it. Please call us with inquiries.

Sincerely,
