Donations??

I was just wondering if LANOC had a place where people can donate money towards the next LAN. A few of the guys I was with and myself.. talked about donating money because we had such a good time, and we thought that maybe if people even donated a few dollars.. it could make the next LAN that much better.. (not to mention help take some of the burden of costs off of the staff).

Are there any hardware donations that you guys could use? Extension cables? Cat5/6 cables? Pledges to donate use of tables or chairs? Pledges to provide cups/plates/food?

I'm not sure, but I think that PayPal does take out some money for donations (or tags on a service charge for making donations), so I would recommend keeping it mostly local (since this IS a local-ish gaming group) so that the most money can go to where it is important. Of course, it is up to the decision of the staff, but I just wanted that to be known.
