[Lnc-business] Dec Meeting

Caryn Ann Harlos carynannharlos at gmail.com
Sat Jul 30 19:47:56 EDT 2016 

I have solicited input from my region and thus far the members have said
this is a reasonable expense (small sample size but of members who pay
attention to what we do)

My job is to represent my region and so far they support reasonable
Party-paid facilities

Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Washington) - Caryn.Ann.
