[Lnc-business] Give or Get Challenge

[Daniel Hayes]

Members,

I am just looking at the financials and when got to the end.  I noticed something on Pg 13.  YTD donations.  Hayes: $3405 vs rest of the LNC: $3047.02. I need to grab that bragging right while it still exists. Catch me if you can.

Now I think there will be two more new Lifetime members or the LNC on next months report but guys we as a board need to do better.  It would be great to see all of the LNC to be Life Members before the end of the year.

I realize that some people are in school(some even in high school) or other things.  I get some are more focused on their states but we are members of a National board.  That comes with obligations.  I honestly think each of us should be bringing money to the LNC. Either with a give or get. It's a VERY common practice on many boards.  We need to be setting the tone for the whole organization.  How do WE expect members to donate if we don't? Can't everybody do at least $25/month?

Yes, there is expense being on the LNC with the travel that comes out of our own pockets.   That probably costs about $1500 or more for each of us per year. Many Party members don't get that we pay our own travel to LNC meetings.  But we still need to do more.

Since I won't be traveling for our December meeting I am pledging $500 towards the convention that I will pay in that month. 

I also am pledging to a $10,000 give or get for 2017.  I encourage EVERY LNC member to at least pledge to yourself some amount that makes you have to push. We NEED to take this party to the next level.   That won't happen if we are coasting. A professional organization takes money.
