    <p>The payment required by the Policy Manual is $60,000, and as
      Robert has confirmed below, we've sent $62,000. So we're in good
      shape there.</p>
    <p>Many thanks to Michael Chastain, who put forward the $25,000
      matching challenge to get us there so fast this year (we failed in
      2015). <br>

    <p>We're working on designing his plaque and other materials for the
      room he is naming at LPHQ:</p>
    <p>From the policy manual:<br>
    </p>
    <p>
      <blockquote type="cite">17) Office Mortgage<br>
        It shall be the goal of the LNC to completely pay off the office
        mortgage as quickly as<br>
        possible, and in any case prior to the due date of the 10-year
        balloon payment. Towards that<br>
        end the LNC shall budget a minimum of $60,000 in each
        odd-numbered year to pay down the<br>
        principal until the mortgage balance is zero. Fundraising for
        this specific purpose shall be<br>
        made a high priority. This provision does not preclude
        additional fundraising and prepayments<br>
        in even-numbered years.</blockquote>
