Plus, paid employees means quarterly IRS filings for
withholding, ss, etc.

We'd do better to contract work than to have employees.

I think if we wanted to, we could officially sanction local
clubs, which could then say that they are officially
sanctioned by the AGA. Sort of like accreditation, we have
a list of criteria that they would have to meet, they'd
apply, someone would determine if they meet the criteria
and then all the benefits would begin to accrue -- I havent
figured out what the benefits are yet :-\

Tired of filling that aquarium all the way to the top? Ready to try something a 
little different? Think less water, more options. Think paludarium.
