[Lnc-business] Request for Motion to Sponsor Outreach Booth

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Thank you Brett, if I get a few more interested in co-sponsoring, I will
get Colorado to get me a more detailed plan.  From what I understand they
would follow National's lead in what they would like to be the focus -
which I understand to be primarily to get national members, encourage
Libertarian registration, and to spread information on our Party and our
National ticket.  I do not know if the non-profit booths are allowed to
sell merchandise, I will inquire with Colorado about that.

I have cc'd the Outreach Director so she can find out and provide me with
this information and any input she may have.

>> The cost for a booth at the event was $800 last year, with a 10% discount
