QMUG/LA’s primary officers haven’t been overly concerned about QMUG/LA’s financial viability, and have generously covered its minimal expenses.

QMUG/LA was based on being fun, and *doing* something was a lot more fun than worrying about how or if QMUG/LA could afford to do it.

Some expenses like e-mail address, phone number, domain registration and hosting are the results of one QORE member and not the group, so they have been paid for voluntarily by that QORE member.

After eight years, it might be nice if QMUG/LA could be more self-sufficient, and the addition of a Marketing Chair might be that step in the right direction.
