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

[Wes Benedict]

On a scale of 1 to 100 for this upcoming meeting, I rate OKC an 82, and 
Phoenix a 79. My point being that they both have plenty of pros and cons 
and it doesn't matter to me much which is picked between the two.

The online voting is running neck and neck right now.

If the LNC-EC votes on this tonight, based on their individual 
preferences expressed so far, I think they'd pick Phoenix by a one-point 
margin.

I think we could all live with that, but if they pick OKC, I think we 
could all live with that too. So, I'm hoping they pick it tonight.
