    The underlined portion of the attached document explains exactly
    what went wrong at our last office reception. <br>
    I'd guess we missed out on at least $10,000 as a result. <br>
    I don't think it would happen again. <br>
    I expect we'd do more than break even, but don't think we'll raise
    as much as we missed out on last time.<br>
    <br>
    I would support speaking slots for donors whose names appear on the
    Nolan fund plaques on the wall that is upstairs where the speeches
    were last time. <br>
    <br>
    If there's an elected official who has contributed to the office
    fund, and whose name is on the wall, that would be a great speaker.<br>
    <br>
    You can find a list of donors here:

                      Here's a description of the 2014 event. I'd expect

                      A big difference will be that I think we should do
                      a fundraising pitch at this
                      event to help pay off the mortgage.<br>

                      nail this down in the next
