[ubuntu-us-ma] Unity Day in South Boston (McCormick Projects)

[jay at lentecs.com]

Problem is we are not officially a non-profit, thus we can't raise big money or free services.  I know there has been talk about organizing a group to help with the legal and tax work for all the loco's.  But we are talking multiple states all with different laws.

We need to find some (big) money and do some advertising. Notice how
these non-profits are doing major mainstream advertising. Like...all
those ads you see for Big Brothers and many other non-profits. Whom
does that stuff?

Ad Council, for one. Don't know many of the details, but we
desperately need some consultants whom know how to get that free ad
stuff...just a thought.
