Economic arguments are relative.
You can do too much and create a sense of expectation. I've already said that the national bodies activites should translate into on the ground stuff and that LUG members should feel an expectation that they will help in promoting linux, open source, etc. As I've said, I've been there-done that a number of time with various organisations and right from the start I expect others in an organisation to get in and help. Rather than oppose it as they becasue they see it destroying their business.
