A short reminder regarding decorum
by Nicholas Sarwark 29 Oct '19

29 Oct '19

Dear All, I expect that members of the Libertarian National Committee will disagree with each other with respect. I expect that after the Libertarian National Committee comes to a decision on an issue, be it the purchase of an office or the choice to make a goal a certain number of candidates running for public office, that every member of the committee will either support the goal or at least stop trying to publicly fight against it after they've lost. I expect that every member of the Libertarian National Committee will be polite and respectful to the rest of the members and to the national office staff. If anyone is unwilling or unable to meet these expectations, I will happily accept your resignation from the Libertarian National Committee and wish you the best of luck in whatever future endeavors you choose. Yours in liberty, Nicholas J. Sarwark Chair, Libertarian National Committee

Draft Budget
by Tim Hagan 06 Dec '16

06 Dec '16

The draft budget to be considered at next month's meeting is attached. Some notes: The Operating Budget worksheet, column F (highlighted in blue) is the budget to be considered. Its numbers are derived from the yellow-highlighted column in the Acct Detail worksheet. The footnotes at the bottom of the Acct Detail worksheet explain how we came up with the 2017 numbers. Many of the numbers are based on the 2013 and 2015 numbers. We are predicting that membership will be 19,583 in January, dropping to 15,000 at the end of next year. This gives an average throughout the year of 17,292, which is 28% higher than the average of 2013 and 2015 membership. Some revenues and expenses are increased 28% to account for this increased membership. Because of our accounting method, the value of the office shows up as a fixed asset with the mortgage as a long-term liability, and paying down the mortgage's principal is a transfer from checking to the mortgage. Likewise, the bequest held in a trust is also an asset, which gets transferred to Cash in the books when we receive a check. Rows 46 and 47 on the Operating Budget worksheet show these transfers so the spreadsheet can show the surplus or deficit of the cash. For the cash flow, the draft budget has a net deficit of $154,900. Tim Hagan

Fwd: RE:CORRECTED DEC 12/10-11 LNC Meeting Info
by Wes Benedict 04 Dec '16

04 Dec '16

Please make your hotel reservations today if possible. See below. My current plan for the December meeting is to open up the office on Friday all day for all arriving LNC members and out of town guests. We'll have a small amount of snacks and things. Perhaps one of our LNC members will *cook a pot of chili *or something for Friday evening or we could order pizza occasionally as wanted. Basically, I'd like to make everyone feel welcome to stay at the office as their primary location Friday, but of course, groups may want to head out to some of the restaurants close by. On Saturday evening, I'd like to have a more formal "2016 Celebration at LPHQ" complete with lots of catered barbecue, remarks from our chair, and lots of noisy libertarians filling up the place. I'd like to charge $20 for the Saturday evening event to help cover the cost of food and drinks. Sunday, after the LNC meeting adjourns, I plan to serve as a tour guide for D.C. Depending on the weather, we'll either do a walking tour of the major monuments, or if it's too cold, we'll visit a Smithsonian or two. I'm open to suggestions, but want to make a plan soon so we can start letting people know about it. Hotel details below.

Fundraising/Membership Committee
by Daniel Hayes 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

This is pretty self evident. We don't raise enough money often enough. We have $430k or so under the mattress and everybody is busy figuring out how to spend it but not how to raise it. We need to have some LNC members prepared to convert the new influx of people into capital and make them stay. Caryn spoke a whole back about getting the new L voters to stay. One way to get people to stay is to get them to literally buy in. "Sell" them a Lifetime membership and they will really stay. That all said we need people willing to pick up the phone. I know I will. Give me 15 minutes on the agenda, please. Daniel Hayes LNC At Large Member Sent from my iPhone
