[Lnc-business] would like to cut 1 issue of LP News

[Daniel Hayes]

Ken,  

If you take the time to familiarize yourself with the website, you will find the LPNews Archive has all the issues of LP News. 

Just click right there at the bottom of the page on LPNews Archive and enjoy.
You really should check out the LP webpage sometime.

P.S. How are things going on the IT committee?

I don't know why - maybe it's because I can take a moment to stop and read everything important going on without the clutter of social media feeds. I actually do read the whole thing every time, too.  It's also nice to see the latest edition of LP News at outreach booths and in LPO's office.

This gets a little out of that scope of authority but, we are not spending more money so it shouldn't be a problem and we can amend the budget line in August. If it  has to come to a vote, I am going to vote to trim to 5.
