[Lnc-business] One-Question LP Convention Survey

Tue May 26 18:35:48 EDT 2020

It doesn't matter when they open. As I have said multiple times, the 
delegates moved to adjourn to that location and time. This information 
doesn't change the ability for the LNC and the hotel to enter into the 
contract. And the LNC can only change course if that date and location 
become impossible per the Hayes adjournment. That they will be open at 
that designated time means that it is not, if fact, impossible.
