[Lnc-business] Orlando in-person convention

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

There is no reason that bylaws and platform should be put off.  A lot of
work was done and that should be respected.  It cannot simply be put off
until 2022 (theoretically bylaws can) because appointments change by the
states.  TJ's program can handle it.  I have found that many people's plans
have changed.

found anything offensive or overly off-putting (or some other social faux
pas), please contact me privately and let me know. *
