        Subject:Re: [Lnc-business] Seeking Co-Sponsors: Motion to set the
        September Meeting Location
     Everyone, I very much appreciate the discussion. That is why I
     introduced
     the topic: I wanted to find out what, if any objections there are
     and to be
     able to talk about them. Since we had received Starchild's email,
     nobody
     else felt the need to discuss the option - I did. We need more
     activity
     like this. I am convinced now that I do not want to sponsor this
     motion and
     would vote not in favor on a ballot due to the following reasons:
     1) Each member of this board must feel safe when attending LNC
     functions,
     within reason. A public place will always be safer than a person's
     home for
     a meeting based on this alone. I am fine with roughing it in a 20
     man tent,
     but that doesn't mean that anyone else would be interested in an
     idea like
     that due to a variety of safety issues. It is unfair to ask anyone
     to do
     anything they feel as unsafe.
     2) There are several health concerns. Again, we must have a meeting
     place
     and location that can accomodate all health issues within reason. A
     public
     place tends to be better maintained and furnished for a general
     population
     as opposed to someone's home in terms of health. It is unfair to ask
     someone to put their health at risk.
     I am very appreciative of Starchild for bringing this idea to mind
     and
     conitnue to welcome input from all members. Input does not always
     equate to
     action and must be evaluated. I believe we have well-evaluated this
     idea.
     If someone else wishes to be the primary on the motion, I would
     encourage
     them to do so, but I withdraw this motion and thank everyone for the
     discussion. I do think it imperative that we find the cheapest
     location
     possible, not the most convenient - we owe that to our membership
     even if
     it means we have to drive 20 minutes more than we would hope.
     As a final note, many of the points of discussion in this email
     thread were
     critical of Starchild from the start. He did not introduce the
     motion, I
     did. Even if he did, it is important that we remember to not make
     things
     personal. Not everyone was on previous LNCs and people, like me who
     introduced the motion, were unaware of the stress that surrounded
     such
     discussions in the past. This is the nature of boards where new
     members
     come on regularly - we must always be patient and explain our points
     of
     view without belittling or discouraging people from sharing new or
     different ideas. Just because you have seen, discussed, and made a
     decision
     about it before does not mean everyone has and we must all grow
     together
     now based on relationships with each other, not based on discussions
     of the
     past from former members. Just please remember this and keep an open
     and
     patient mind.

          I
               also
               have allergies, and some animals and other environmental
          aspects can
               cause either, an asthma attack, or other allergic
     reactions.
               While I do attend gatherings at private residences, both
     indoor
          and
               outdoor, I do so with the knowledge that if I leave, I'm
     not
          missing
               anything important.  (social gatherings, etc.)  But, an
     LNC
          meeting
               is
               LP business, and I have an obligation to Region 3, which
          includes
               attending LNC meetings.  I don't want to be in a situation
          where I'd
               need to miss or even curtail, an LNC meeting due to the
          environment
               (Indoor or outdoor) It's possible others on the LNC, LP
          members, or
               guests, who may wish to attend an LNC, have similar health
          concerns.
               Out of consideration of my own health, and that of others,
     I'd
          not
               be
               in favor of an outdoor meeting, or one at a private
     residence.

               Motion: In order to save the general membership funds, I
     move
          to set
                  the September Meeting location at the home of
                  ===
                  Rationale: A member in the Phoenix area has indicated
     that
          they
               have
                  the space available, at no charge, to host our meeting.
     The
               meeting
                  location has not currently been set and I am unaware of
          where we
               are at
                  as far as determining a location. After asking the
     question
          last
               week
                  and getting no official answer, I am now moving to set
     the
               location
                  ahead of any official announcement. I would encourage
          everyone to
                  review the email Starchild sent to us yesterday which
          includes
               comments
                  from Ernie, the homeowner.
