AppleQuerque Macintosh Computer Club has chosen to go the informal
non-profit route, though we like to have a nice bit of buffering money
in the treasury. We had briefly discussed official non-profit status,
but the consensus was to forgo it. We have not discussed profit - what
is that?
Our membership over the past 2.5 years has taken a strong downturn.
Some of that is surely due to our newsletter going digital (even though
members could request a hard copy at no additional cost), the switch to
OS 10 and strong personality problems. With the shortage of members, we
are hard pressed to have a board that will get programs together for
the club; it is hard to think about much else.
Our expenses are minimal at this time, so there is no more discussion
about raising dues or charging entry fees to non-members. We are saving
money for a LCD projector and Airport Base Station, and hoping to
increase our (on paper) membership back to a comfortable 100 - we are
now about 75 with 20-40 at meetings.

This week there was a question about non-profit user groups and I it
got me
thinking about how many groups have never made a decision and are
informal, and
those who are formally nonprofit and those that are formally for
profit. I'd
be interested in how groups made the decision, what they decided, and
how it
affected the way individual groups run?
