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:

makes you think that the
amount of money you might raise will compensate
for the cost of food, and the staff

you raise $10,000 it will be
worth the cost, but if you only raise a couple of
thousand dollars will that
really make this a cost-effective idea?</span></font></p>

reception at our office on the Saturday night of
our next LNC meeting which is
July 18, 2015 in Alexandria, VA. <br>
<br>
Here's a description of the 2014 event. I'd expect
to do something similar,
such as 7-10 PM, etc.<br>

<br>
A big difference will be that I think we should do
a fundraising pitch at this
event to help pay off the mortgage.<br>
<br>
We're beginning work on LP News and would like to
nail this down in the next
week if possible.<br>
<br>
So, please speak up soon if you are in favor or
against another Saturday
evening reception at LPHQ.<br>
