[Lnc-business] Financial transactions with LNC members

[Tim Hagan]

Sorry about any confusion. I know you bought it all at the published
prices, and did nothing wrong. We have a new policy that all financial
transactions between LNC members and the LNC have to be approved by the
LNC. I'm trying to follow this policy by letting the LNC know that we
have had financial transactions by LNC members making purchases. I could
be reading the policy more strictly than was intended. I'd like to see
the Policy Manual have exceptions from needing approval for individuals
making certain purchases from the LNC, such as buying convention
packages and LPStore items, and will move this at the July 8 meeting. I
have the wording below, so feel free to wordsmith it.

I bought a convention suite at the same price that other members bought one ($2,500 IIRC).  I have no idea what you are talking about Mr. Hagan.  can you please explain before the social media rumour mill starts?
