we should perhaps ask for

a digital photo of the animal to be e-mailed (saves money) and waiver 
the entry fee thing, and ask for that money to be put back in to the 
animal walfare,  not sure,   the plaque would still cost money,  perhaps 
extra information can be added,   such as the lug web site.

the digital photo can then be put on the lug website.

hmm you could create your own distro, called macaroi,   perhaps online 
radio / pod casting station distro, would be appropriate.   However 
adopt a penguin seems a good idea,  how much would it cost,
