Law aside, it seems to me that what a merchant does at a demo, event or 
anything else has nothing to do with a group's profit/non-profit status. the 
merchant pays for the booth space, not the group... At the Univ. of Dallas 
demo last (?) year, several SCA people had booths..... All of that aside, 
nowhere does it say we cannot make money, or even a profit; just that monies 
we do make, from whatever. must be spent on the group. Every group tries very 
hard to make a "profit" (i.e. more than they spent) on every event....
Just my 2 cents, and worth as much as Caelin's--
