amount of money you might raise will compensate for the cost of food, and the staff
time involved in planning this event? I mean – if 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?<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>

reception at our office on the Saturday night of our next LNC meeting which is
July 18, 2015 in <u></u><u></u>Alexandria<u></u>,
<u></u>VA.<u></u><u></u> <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>
