I'm all for the not-for-profit sector, as long as there's something in it
for me :^)

Unfortunately, I lack the patience and marketing skills to benefit those
users:

>Employee and volunteer handbooks

"So You Want to Volunteer...LOL!"

>visitor guides

"Welcome.  This place has lots of great stuff, but whatever you do, stay
away from Buffalo Bob's.  Oy.  I had the Squirrel Casserole there last night
and <burp>..."

>quality manuals

"Look, it works, awright?  You gotta problem with this?"

>newsletters

"Volume 6, Issue 23:  We got indoor plumbing!  Do I really have to go into
more detail?"

>outreach publications

"Several people have eaten at Buffalo Bob's and, for those people, a triage
center is now located near the Visitor's Center"

>and grant proposals 

"We feel that $50,000 is an appropriate amount to study the strain of
bacterium at Buffalo Bob's"
