[LPIL - Board of Directors] Executive Director Report - September 2022

[Justin Tucker]

Fellow Libertarians - If you are not a recurring monthly donor to the LP 
Illinois, please visit www.lpillinois.org  to set. If you cannot donate 
monthly, please consider a one-time donation. Also please consider 
Lifetime Memberships, which will get you into the upcoming gala and 
future conventions. Thanks to all our donors, both new and recurring. We 
just paid for a petition drive and we need to rebuild the treasury. 
Become a donor today!

If you are not a Precinct Committeeperson, please consider becoming one. 
If you are in an established county, start planning the next PC 
elections. Meanwhile, the information on 
https://lpillinois.org/precinct-committeemen/ should be updated.

In the month of August, we brought in a total of $2881.71. So far in 
September, we've brought in $342.71. Again, we just paid for a petition 
drive and need to replenish our coffers. Please reach into your couch 
cushions, put aside a few coffees, and give whatever you can spare, 
large or small, to help rebuild. My all-time haul as ED is $11,896.63 
and up $516.01 from our last BOD meeting.

Registration for Spook the State: 2022 LP Illinois State Gala is open. 
We will need to add more verbiage ourselves about the event, but we can 
start promoting. I will draft an email promoting Gala sales going live. 
I also plan to send an appeal aimed at new members since 2019 welcoming 
them to the party, thanking them for their support, directing them to 
help, and asking for a donation. I also plan another general fundraising 
appeal. I also sent out an email appeal on behalf of Bill Redpath's 
campaign and plan to do so with the other statewide candidates.

9 of the top 20 months for contribution aggregate have been since April 
2021.

I have begun circulating a petition to be on the Chicago Police District 
Council in the 14th District. Three members are chosen at large. I will 
have more info on my campaign as the Chicago municipal petition drive 
continues on.

The UIC library will be picking up materials for the archive on Friday. 
If you want to donate, you have until Friday or until the next pick-up.

Best,
Justin Tucker
Executive Director, Libertarian Party of Illinois
