Joe suggested a number of ideas:

* Events
* Auction: Have people put up things to auction via secure auction site.
** Open Source Software: http://www.webidsupport.com/ or http://www.bidhub.org/
* Drives such as can drives or door to door drives
** Could work well for candidates

Malt will pull together some possible future events and send it to the list.
