But I thought you said that items bought just like they are sold to members of the public are not part of this. I paid the same prices as everyone. I do not believe purchases that are open to everyone are part of this. I am making my convention plans, and I do not want to wait until 7/8 to find out if I actually have a suite or a room. Your initial post made it seem like Susan and I got some sweetheart deal (unintentionally) and I just didn't want to have the Facebook rumour mill start making up things. I wanted it to be crystal clear that I was and am treated in this things like any other members. *In Liberty,* * Personal Note: I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome (part of the autism spectrum).

Sorry about any confusion. I know you bought it all at the published prices, and did nothing wrong. We have a new policy that all financial transactions between LNC members and the LNC have to be approved by the LNC. I'm trying to follow this policy by letting the LNC know that we have had financial transactions by LNC members making purchases. I could be reading the policy more strictly than was intended. I'd like to see the Policy Manual have exceptions from needing approval for individuals making certain purchases from the LNC, such as buying convention packages and LPStore items, and will move this at the July 8 meeting. I have the wording below, so feel free to wordsmith it.

the only thing I bought from LP Store was two Jo Jorgensen signs. I bought them at the same rate and at the same link as everyone else - $5 each plus shipping. I bought a convention suite at the same price that other members bought one ($2,500 IIRC). I have no idea what you are talking about Mr. Hagan. can you please explain before the social media rumour mill starts?

My understanding is that a financial transaction is an exchange of money for goods or services. We have financial transactions done after this motion passed that need approval. If the approval cannot wait until our July 8 meeting (I think it can wait.), then I need co-sponsors for a motion to approve for Caryn Ann Harlos to purchase a convention suite, and for Caryn Ann Harlos and Susan Hogarth to purchase items from the LPStore.
I request an agenda item for the July 8 meeting to move to add at the end of Policy Manual Section 2.01, Subsection 3:
Other Financial Transactions does not include purchases of convention packages, convention tickets, convention tables, convention suites, or LPStore merchandise as long as they are purchased at the same rate that is offered to other party members.
