Actually, to get non-profit status, you just go into the building to the
left of the state capital, fill out a form, and submit it.  There's no
charge for a non-profit.  I think you just need the names of the people
involved.  You can also download the form from the state website I think.

I don't think it's that much trouble.  Although, my taxes are complicated
enough as it is, so my name would stay far far away from that application.

I would be in favor of something like think geek.  We could have some
t-shirts, mugs, ... made with a tclug logo and make a slight profit off the
sales.  At least its voluntary.  The t-shirts would also help get the word
out about the group.  With a couple of us wearing them around the U, I'm
sure we would start to see some new faces.

Of course this system would take a lot of work by someone to organize and
file wit the gov.
