[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2015-09: Increase Branding Budget

[Wes Benedict]

We are not throwing stuff away. Hardly any for practical purposes. I've re-ordered the old style shirts twice since the new logo was adopted. I've even reordered old style stationery in small quantities while we finalize the new stationery. Shirts hats stickers brochures we sell for more than we pay for most of it. 

See my email about selling $25 polo shirts for $50. And for those I got the sales before ordering stock.

I may be wrong, but I do not recall $20,000 for rebranding everything.  I think the idea presented was to use up what we have and go to the new as we order new supplies.  But, where did I leave me notes?????

A related question is - can we buy new materials and not throw away what we have on hand, and live with the fact that not everything will be perfectly branded?
