[Lnc-business] Executive Committee Conference Call - 7/24/14 @ 9:30 pm EST - NH Ballot Access

[Wes Benedict]

The Life member letter only recently hit homes and has brought in $4,640 
to date. I'm expecting it might bring in another $10,000, but it's hard 
to predict snail mail performance this early, particularly for something 
this specialized, and particularly after we sent an email for this that 
brought in close to $30,000 (my new all-time high I think) in June.

I'm sorry, but it's hard to give a clear financial report at this time 
due to convention bills that are not finalized.

Bottom line is, I think we can make this happen if you want, but it 
might bring our cash on hand down to very low and we might be carrying 
some payables for a month or two, or longer if we keep spending on more 
new things.

I hope to have a convention hotel bill by early next week, but if not, 
we can consider plugging in an estimate into our June financials and 
then correcting them once the final number is known.
