[Lnc-business] Fwd: Quarterly Board Meeting Hotel Proposals

[Brett Bittner]

Wes,

Thank you for sharing these with us, as well as the alternate idea for
Phoenix.

With Kevin's poll (
http://polljunkie.com/poll/zamzoj/poll-2-please-do-not-open-the-page-and-then-not-vote
) active and now equipped with this information, we should be able to come
to a motion by the end of the day, one would hope. Some of us have to
arrange travel from places other than our home cities for this particular
meeting, coordinating with people who are chomping at the bit to finalize
travel for their events in New England.
