[Lnc-business] Q1 fundraising update

[Lauren Daugherty]

Thank you, Sam. It is a big team effort and I'm so thankful for our many 
members and donors who invest their hard-earned dollars in the LP.

My goal is constantly "bigger and better" so we'll continue pursuing that.

Naturally, the national convention will be a big part of this next 
quarter and it is already doing very well financially.
