[Lnc-business] Q1 fundraising update

[Lauren Daugherty]

Dear LNC,

At the beginning of the year, I set a goal for our fundraising that we'd 
have the best first quarter revenues in 10 years. I knew this was 
ambitious because the first quarter of 2017 was so solid and this year 
we'd be fundraising for the national convention simultaneously. (I don't 
include convention revenues or bequest payments in these quarterly 
comparisons.)

Thanks to the hard work of our team and the generous support of so many 
members and donors, we achieved that goal and also my next one of 
beating the 2005 first quarter revenues.

So, this year, we had the best Q1 going back to 2004.

We surpassed the 10-year-average by 31% and the average of the last 5 
even-numbered years by 28%. Please see the attached graph.

Thanks to all those who helped make this happen.

Lauren
