[Lnc-business] Seeking Co Sponsors for 2017 budget meeting date and location.

[Starchild]

Daniel,

	You mention the guest room cost, but that's an optional expense for LNC members or others to pay out of pocket themselves; I'm more concerned about the cost of the meeting room or any other costs that would be borne directly by the Libertarian Party. 

	I think part of the rationale for meeting in convention hotels prior to conventions has often been to pay less for meeting space in consideration of the business we're already giving them. Will you ask the hotel if they'll give us a free place to meet? 

	If they won't extend such an offer, would you be willing to consider another (non-hotel) meeting location in New Orleans that would cost the party less money? Given that it will be a budget meeting, that would seem particularly apropos. Interested members could certainly still visit or stay at the convention hotel if desired.

	Do you know of any local activism opportunities or other libertarian tie-ins that could be scheduled that weekend?

	Are there local LP members or others in the area who'd be willing to host visiting LNC members or others coming in for the meeting from out of town?

Love & Liberty,
                                  ((( starchild )))
