There's another aspect of school demos to consider. The SCA's charter says 
that we're supposed to be an educational organization. While we spend most 
of our time educating ourselves, it'd be useful if, say, the IRS ever 
decided to look into us, to have a stack of thank-you notes from various 
schools to show how we're doing education outside our own little group as well.
