style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana'>The Hyatt SFO was investigated
several years ago as a possible location for our 2012 National
Convention. The consensus was that this was not a good location for our
Convention because there was only one restaurant in the hotel itself; there
were only a couple of restaurants within walking distance; and downtown <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:place></st1:City> was a good

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3 color=black

probably going to finalize the date and location for our next training event. <br>
<br>
We're leaning towards a hotel with reasonable rates (119/night) near the San
Fransisco airport. We're leaning towards the weekend of February 13. If by some
surprise the LNC wants to meet at the same place and time as our training and
is ready to make a decision now, then we could possibly hold the training
February 20 (the weekend the LNC voted for at the meeting) instead of the 13,
but still in San Francisco (if we find out the hotel is available on the 20th).<br>
<br>
My understanding is the LNC wants to meet February 20 at a possible 2018
convention location (which doesn't include S.F. to my knowledge). <br>
<br>
Unless I hear significant opposition real quickly, and that opposition is
accompanied with a specific practical plan, I'm going to assume it's not
practical to try and jointly hold the LNC meeting with the next LPHQ training
event. <br>
<br>
An example of a specific practical plan would be "I think holding the LNC
meeting at the same time as the training is a great idea. Let's have the LNC
meeting in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:place></st1:City>
on February 20th weekend."<br>
<br>
In this case I'm the bureaucracy, and I've been holding up the training plans,
but I need to let the training plans get finalized so we can plan the details
and start promoting.<br>
<br>
No action is required by the LNC on this. Without action, we're likely to pick
February 13 for the training. <br>
<br>
Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
