[Lnc-business] Platform and Bylaws appointments

[Sean O'Toole]

I’m a strong proponent of the Oxford comma. However, I’m curious how 
the intent of the following sentence could be misinterpreted, *The 
canning, processing, preserving, freezing, drying, marketing, storing, 
packing for shipment or distribution of: (1) Agricultural produce; (2) 
Meat and fish products; and (3) Perishable foods.*

The only way that *packing for shipment* and *distribution of* can be 
combined is to insert an *or* between *storing,* and *packing*.
