                                            door hanger distribution
                                            project in 2016. <br>
                                            <br>
                                            The check was hand delivered
                                            recently by Michael
                                            Chastain, of <u></u><u></u>Austin<u></u>,

                                            <br>
                                            but this time, I want to do
                                            over a million door hangers.
                                            I can see having the
                                            quiz on one side, and our
                                            presidential nominee on the
                                            other.<br>
                                            <br>
                                            In 2010, we also received a
                                            $20,000 check from a
                                            different donor to help
                                            support door hangers. With
                                            the extra financing, we're
                                            able to sell them at five
                                            cents each and waive
                                            shipping charges, rather
                                            than selling at 10 cents
                                            each
                                            plus $5 shipping as we do
                                            now.<br>
                                            <br>
                                            For those of you new to the
                                            LNC, I've written
                                            separately, and will write
                                            more
                                            in the future, about how the
                                            door hangers do much more
                                            than simply provide the
                                            printed advertising
                                            benefits. They encourage
                                            local activity, etc. I'll
                                            write
                                            more about it later. <br>
                                            <br>
                                            To me, this was an early
                                            Christmas present to the LP,
                                            but I certainly
                                            understand others might see
