[Lnc-business] Professional Photographer at LNC Meeting

[Scott L.]

As you all know, the National LP is not exactly flush with cash right now.

 

As I wrote earlier, having high-quality photographs "for the media", and for
the LP web site, is not a bad thing.  However, I don't think it is a good
idea at this time to spend what could be over $2000 of our donor's money on
a project that is clearly very optional.

 

As a substitute, I propose the following:

 

 

    1.  Those LNC members who wish to take advantage of Mr. Sarwark's offer
must donate $100 to the National LP to pay for the photos.  I hope that
method is FEC compliant.

 

                                    OR

 

 

    2. If you are not satisfied with the quality of your photo at

        You can go to a provider of Passport photos near your home and get a
digital Passport photo.  These will probably not be professional quality,
but they should suffice for the LP web site.  With just minimal Google
searching, I found a local store that will do them for $10.

 

 

                                    OR

 

3.      You can have a family member or friend take a photo of you, after
reading these tips:

I understand that spending $2000 is not going to throw the National LP into
bankruptcy.  However, since our current reserve is below the reserve
requirement, I don't think it sends the right message to our members to
spend National LP funds on this particular project at this time.

 

 

For the above reasons, I decline to have the professional photographer take
a photograph of me at the LNC Session in Phoenix.
