We rely greatly upon our membership's time and services. We rely on corporate sponsors to cover costs for mailings, brochures and special events. Sponsors are listed in each issue of the newsletter. Individuals and corporations have provided excess equipment to us, which is a tax deductible inventory adjustment as we are a non-profit organization. Each month we feature a book matching or related to the current presentation topic or tutorial.
Membership is free.
We have fees for newsletters and for user access accounts on our UNIX servers. The newsletter is available electronically on line to our members. Currently our fees are to cover expenses of resources used. These include the cost of mailing paper newsletters on an individual basis and the expense of local access telephone circuits for subscribing users of our computer host UNIX systems. Returned check fees for any bad checks are also collected.
