NYLXS's educational program is strictly non-profit and as inexpenssive
as practically possible. It's a core goal of the organziation.
We had taken offers of room space previously from non-members and it's
not worked out well. So we now are adhereing to the policy of help from
within. Our experience is that people who volunteer with us tend to
not leave us hanging unexpectedly.

We are open to talking about marketing issues, and I'd be happy talk to you
about being an instructor.

Right now I need help with PR, Editing the Journal, and building an
Accounting Desktop for Business. We are also trying to move GNU into
the Federal Government and getting paid to do it.
Finally, I need someone to do the foot work to sell GNU to local
High Schools and High School Teachers.
Send your studnets on down. And drop down yourself. We have plenty to
do.
