[Lnc-business] Convention request

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I support the compromise and moist of that but I cannot afford to pledge I
will not request a refund.  I paid for actual "merchandise or services."  I
cannot afford a $2K donation.  I am in forbearance on my mortgage and that
is a mortgage payment.  If the in person convention is cancelled, I will be
requesting a refund.  Not out of malice.  Out of financial desperation.  If
I could give the money, I would.

*In Liberty,*

* Personal Note:  I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome
(part of the autism spectrum).  This can affect inter-personal
communication skills in both personal and electronic arenas.  If anyone
found anything offensive or overly off-putting (or some other social faux
pas), please contact me privately and let me know. *
