Kareyseconded, Motion approved. Dustin made a motion to approve the Februaryminutes. Catherine seconded. Motion approved. Chair Report - Bill – Deferred to Catherine sinceshe had to leave early Vice Chair - Catherine – Started on Convention. Needto pay the deposit on Oasis. Randy asked Bill if he had the debit card. Billsaid no. Randy asked how much it was. Catherine said 100 plus tax. Randy saidthat if she was not able to get Sean to do it to let him know and he would payit and work it out with the Sean later. Since she did not think that we would have theattendance to do breakouts we would only do the one room. Since we approved aspending budget of 1500 did we want to try to break even or make money on topof that? Randy asked Mike if he remembered if what wecharged last time. Mike said he would check his brochure from the event. Catherine said that Robin had suggested 30-40. Soher question again was did we want to break even and get the 1500 back. Randysaid we often had got to break even. Occasionally we had a small loss or gain. Catherine said that we had different cateringoptions. She wanted to make sure that we were going to reach our goals beforetelling them what we wanted. She was guesstimating(sp) 50 people. Bill thought50 was a good guess, maybe slightly higher. Catherine asked Ron about Larry Bradley speaking.Ron thought he could speak. Catherine said she was thinking for schedule 8-9registration. 9-12 state meeting. Break for lunch. Then guest speakers in theafternoon. Tom Martz – MissouriConstitution Lloyd Slone – No Sales Tax group We have enough other speakers, just need to getthem lined up. Ron asked how long for each speaker. Catherinethought a half hour. Ron asked if there would be time for questions andanswers. Catherine though yes. James Urhahn asked if it was open to the generalpublic. Catherine said yes but only members could vote. James asked if thepeople interested in the speakers could just do a separate convention charge ifthey were only interested in the speakers. Something cheaper. Randy said thatthe business meeting was free and open to the public. The speakers are what wecharged for. James said that some people would not be interested in going tothe meeting or eating with us. Catherine said the only meal supplied was lunchand dinner they were on their own. Bill said that could be a possibility butthat there was not going to be a line at the door. Karey said a student ratewould be a good idea. Catherine said that the speakers wouldn’t charge butappreciate donations and help with travel expenses. Randy said that we havenormally had a student discount but didn’t remember anyone in the last decadetaking advantage of it. But would be fine with a student discount. Bill thought we could also do that on the fly. Bill asked Catherine how many speakers. She saidshe had five. Randy asked Mike if he found anything. Mike saidthere was nothing about the charges. Randy said we should probably go ahead and set thefees. Bill agreed and asked Catherine if she had a motion. Catherine said wecould probably have a deduction for those just for the speakers and not to eat.Bill asked Randy if we had always covered expenses for the speakers. Randy saidthat we had paid for hotels and gas as needed. James asked what food was goingto be. Catherine said of 1500 that 100 was going to go to the room. She waslooking at different catering plans. There was a minimum sandwich one of 20 aperson. James said he would make a motion of to have multi-tiered registration40 for everything, 20 for just speakers, and a student discount. Randy asked Ron on the website if he thought fromthe website standpoint if we could do that. He remembered in the past that weonly had the donate button and that we had to just make it a general donationand then in the comments say what it was for. Ron said he didn’t remember butthat had been an issue. Thought we might have to put a note in there aboutregistration. Randy said he thought that we had just called it early birddiscount and switch it over. So we may not be able to do multi-tiered on theweb site. Ladonna said that we couldn’t get catered sandwiches for less than25. Thought that it should be 30 to attend convention, 25 to attend convention,25 to attend lunch, and have an early bird registration until May 1st.Could do student with valid ID to come in for free. James asked if we were going to advertise onFacebook. Randy said yes. James said we could do ticketing through Facebook.Randy said that we had tried that through Facebook and the fees had beenhorrible and we had decided not to try that again. James said he would stickwith his original motion. Ron seconded. Catherine said that lunch buffet with aminimum of 30 guests could do 20 per person. Looks like we would have to pay inadvance. Bill thought the cleaner the fees the better. Randy said that wenormally fed our speakers also, and if there is extra we have fed our vendors. Bill said we should feed anyone. Ron thought we should wait to discuss closer toconvention. Catherine agreed. Bill said we only had one more meeting and had tomake a decision soon. Ladonna said we may have people having to paytwice. Bill said that this could be early bird and if we decided later to havehigher price that would be after early bird. James said that anyone showing upfor just speakers wouldn’t show up till after lunch anyway. Bill said we wouldcome up with a format and then numbers. James made a motion for format settonight. Early Bird registration all in, Registration all in after early bird,students free, Robert seconded. Motion passed. Bill brought up cost for each. Randy said the currentmotion was 50-40-20. Catherine said She thought that might be too high. Randy asked45-34-20. Bill suggested 30-40-20 (students free) James made a motion to acceptthose prices. Bill said early bird registration was 25% off. Pretty nicediscount. Catherine seconded it. Motion carried. Also under state convention. Bill asked about doingawards. Randy said the chair did that using a previous list of who had alreadydone, and while he had ideas, it was normally a solo act. Bill said he wouldlike to add input. Ron suggested sending out an email with categories so peoplecould make suggestions. Bill said he would do that. James asked when we would put it out there. Billsaid we would contact Sean. James confirmed early bird until April. Catherine said she would have an agenda for thenext meeting. Bill asked Randy if he had any reports. Randy saidnothing for Secretary. Social media was holding steady. Asked for contentpictures and contributions and announcements. Sean not on call. Greg had nothing to report as Executive Director. State Fair – Ron said we needed to get busy on it.Looking at a theme. Thought about Fanning the Flames of Liberty. Bill asked if we were going to havea bonfire. Ron said we could do that but should probably have some fireextinguishers as well. In humor said we could let it burn until it took out theDemocrat and Republican tents. Asked everyone to save the date. Wanted to give out Constitutions. Can order in groups of 10. Bill thought the bookletswere a good idea although not sure how much they were read. Ron also wanted to give out stickers. Bill asked if this was a 100 in addition to what wehad already approved. Ron said that we had only approved the space rental andhad not approved the tent or the supplies yet. James said the for another event they had went toJefferson City and got boxes of state ones and had good luck handing them out.Ron said he had no problem with that.Jeff said he liked that idea since if they were picked up we wouldn’t have topay shipping costs due to the overburdened size of the Missouri Constitution.Ron said we could just give out what fed ones we had left and focus on thestate ones. Bill asked if we couldhighlight issues in the State Constitution. Jeff said he could assist withthat. Mike said per Donna’s not that the price goes downquite a bit if we order 50 or more. Highlighting might be prohibitive. Ron saidthat there were other alternative less expensive but not necessarilylibertarian perspective. Ladonna suggested making a big poster with 10 bullet points of some of thefunnier ones. Ron said he would contact Sean about how to bestorder them. Jeff suggested in humor a theme Make Bingoregulations great again. Ron thought it was amusing but wanted to keepliberty in the theme. New Business Bill did not know how Boone county paper got on theagenda. Randy said that he had asked for volunteers to do the interview sincehe hadn’t had time and that Greg had already volunteered. Greg said that theinterview had happened and it went well. Randy said he was glad that Greg had taken it on. Ron talked about municipal election April 4th.Had heard they would be asking about your political party. If not they will putyou down as unaffiliated. Dustin said that it was state wide. Ron said thatwould be asked when you register and not when you vote. Dustin said they weredoing it to get a baseline this time until they got it established. Greg saidhe had noticed it on his new registration form. Greg thought it might be a gooddevelopment. We might be able to get a mailing list out of it. Dustin thought it could be a good idea for us tohave it but not necessarily the government. Asked Ron if primary was stillopen. Ladonna said no. Dusting thought you could change it prior to theelection in a certain primary. James asked if Unaffiliated could choose.Ladonna said they would only get the issues, not the candidate. Karey said thatmany parts don’t take effect until 2025. Ron said that at one time it wasclosed, but moved to open, and is now going back to closed. Bill asked Ladonna how Nick Kasoff was doing in hisrace. She said he was doing great and had yard signs out and a team. Dustin said Ladonna and he had been approachedabout caucuses. Was curious what they were like. Randy said that it had been along time. But it was the local activists getting together at a designatedlocation and voting on who they wanted to go forward. Ladonna said that therewas a bill to re-instate the primary but didn’t think that there was enoughmomentum to pass it. St. Charles had a very contentiousprocess when Ron Paul was running. Dustin said that he had read it and that we neededto have it on our radar. Randy said that it will probably still be decidedat National convention despite what happens with the state caucuses. Announcements Dusting said that he was working on the final draftof the By-Law amendment changes. Next meeting April 23rd. Dustin made a motion to adjorn. Ron seconded.Meeting adjourned Time 8:45pm FROM CHAT: 00:22:46 LaDonnaHiggins: I would say $30 per personfor early registration, $25 for lunch, raise it to $40 for regularregistration. 00:41:11 Dustin: Subtitle - Pyromania is a humanright! 00:41:27 Randyin Warrensburg Mo: lol 00:46:26 LaDonnaHiggins: For quantities of over 50,the cost is $2.50 per 00:53:39 Dustin: Give me dabber or give me death! 01:00:13 Karey Owens: Warren County asks which party as well | | Virus-free.www.avg.com |

Social media report
by Randy Langkraehr 23 Apr '23

23 Apr '23

Numbers continue to hold steady and be fine. MeeWee continues to flounder. It is no real problem to keep it updated (just a few minutes copying and pasting a day) along with Twitter, but people are definitely not flocking to it. We might take the $2 we spend on it add $6 and get our blue twitter checkmark. Would like to have some reporters at convention, taking pictures and getting more images out there. Maybe some on the floor interviews if you like to do video. It would be great to have a Tik Tok but we have to have content. And I don't dance in public anymore. But if we had someone producing content from events would be worth looking at. Will be posting more about that closer to convention (will be the first week of May before I get caught up at work) but if you are going to be at convention and have a good cell phone camera and want to help be a reporter hit me up. I have a few more things to post about Tik Tok and our demographics etc. but have to get the minutes done (thought our meeting was next Sunday) so all for now. Might get a follow up email later if time.

My resignation from LPMO
by Catherine Dreher 21 Apr '23

21 Apr '23

I hereby submit my official resignation from the Missouri Libertarian Party, as well as all affiliated organizations associated with the LPMO. In a previous email, I submitted all completions thus far for coordinating the MoLP State Convention. I have fulfilled my responsibility to organize the State Convention to the best of my abilities, using the resources available to me. All that remains is to create and print programs and oversee registration (which I am unable to do regardless). Additionally, I immediately resign from any representative position within the state of Missouri, the state party and do not wish to be considered as a representative for any LPMO position, nor as a candidate for any office with the LP National party in the future. Sincerely, Catherine Dreher -- *Catherine Dreher*

Jim Higgins proposed the following: Randy, I propose removing article 10 of the bylaws regarding the state nominating convention. Thanks Jim Higgins Dustin Coffel, along with his team of Tom Rowlette and Mike Lewis proposed the following: Hi Randy, Apologies for sending this to multiple addresses. I've got these three for you and wasn't sure which this should go to! I'm including two versions, a redline and a clean "final" version. I'll leave it to you whether or not they should both be sent to the conventioneers or just the redline. I intend to have paper copies of each available in Springfield. Thanks, Dustin Coffell
