<div dir="ltr"><div>Colleagues: </div><div> </div><div>First let me say I think Los Angeles would be a great place to have our first 2016 LNC meeting.</div><div>It's been a long time since the LNC has met in California, and I say it's about time. We have</div><div>a huge number of members in California, and with the problems they are having with Top Two,</div><div>meeting there would be a morale booster for them.</div><div>Concerning our upcoming meeting in Orlando, the reason I suggested it was so that the many</div><div>new LNC members who had never seen the 2016 Convention hotel would have an opportunity</div><div>to do so.</div><div>These are my thoughts. Others are free to weigh in with theirs.</div><div> </div><div>Regards,</div><div>Vicki Kirkland</div><div>Region 2 Rep LNC</div><div> </div><div> </div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Oct 24, 2015 at 1:03 AM, Roland Riemers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:riemers@yahoo.com" target="_blank">riemers@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><div><span>While I enjoy the trips about the country for LNC business, I wonder other then a nice weekend vacation, are we really accomplishing anything?

If we are not doing either, then lets just figure where we can keep the costs down the best for the party and for the members. Figure out the easiest and cheapest locations for everyone to meet, and with minimal staff costs. Maybe in the national HQ, but maybe it might turn out air fares etc would be cheaper for everyone if we met in Atlanta or Minneapolis, etc.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr">As for conflicts with various sporting events, etc., who cares. We all volunteered for this work, so when the work calls we are obligated to attend. If it is Super Bowl weekend, just set up your video recorder and watch it when you get home.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">As for a purposed site for February, I would suggest Minneapolis. It is a good travel hub, and there is a cheap light rail system that can take us either downtown or to Mall of America. Hotels are relatively cheap. Weather of course would be cold, but you really do not have to be outside that much anyway. </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I also think Detroit might be a good site for us to meet sometime, so we can catch up on what is happening to that distressed city.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Roland of ND</div><br> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px"> <div dir="ltr"> <hr size="1"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">From:</span></b> Wes Benedict <<a href="mailto:wes.benedict@lp.org">wes.benedict@lp.org</a>><br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">To:</span></b> <a href="mailto:lnc-business@hq.lp.org">lnc-business@hq.lp.org</a> <br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">Sent:</span></b> Friday, October 23, 2015 5:38 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject:</span></b> [Lnc-business] first 2016 LNC meeting date and location?<br> </font> </div> <div><br><div>

If you want to propose dates and possible locations in advance of
the next LNC meeting for a February or March LNC meeting, feel free
to make suggestions to consider in advance.<br>
<br>
Robert Kraus and I have occasionally proposed dates and locations,
only to be met with derision and scorn for conflicting with certain
sports events.<br>
<br>
A list of 2016 state conventions is here:
<a rel="nofollow">https://www.lp.org/blogs/staff/2016-state-conventions</a><br>
<br>
Staff is considering the possibility of another training session,
possibly in February, and while we would probably attempt to avoid
the LNC meeting, that's not 100% required. <br>
<br>
We'd like to announce the date and location in the upcoming LP New
if possible. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
