Hello, If we don't register as a society, we cannot officially collect money or donate money under the name of ilug-cal. As far as I know that is illegal as the name ilug-cal doesn't officially belong to us. If we collect or donate money under this name we might face legal problem. I think this point should be considered seriously before we jump into any sort of decision on collecting or donating money.
