[Lnc-business] EMAIL BALLOT 191229-1: Appeal from Ruling of the Chair

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Mr. Bishop-Henchman I have a question.  In what instances did the Chair
indicate we could refund a membership?  Perhaps I am missing something here
but I never saw such a claim.  Unless you are referring to a pet, but I
don't want to guess.

communication skills in both personal and electronic arenas.  If anyone
found anything offensive or overly off-putting (or some other social faux
pas) in an actual email, please contact me privately and let me know.  *
