[Lnc-business] LNC meetings

[Vicki Kirkland]

Several years ago, Robert checked into alternative meeting places such as
public libraries and discovered that they were not cost effective.
One of the problems I see with libraries is most of them are closed on
Sunday
mornings and also on holiday weekends.  Also, many of them have restrictions
on bringing food in which we need to do for working lunches.
Robert is very good at keeping meeting costs down.  I say let
him do his job.
