[Justin Tucker]

Fellow Libertarians - Please make a donation to the LP Illinois by 
visiting www.lpillinois.org and clicking DONATE. Also please consider 
Lifetime Memberships, which will get you into future conventions. Thanks 
to all our donors, both new and recurring, especially the donors on this 
call. Established counties start petitioning around soon and the 
statewide petition for the 2024 Presidential ticket starts next spring. 
Please dig deep in those pockets today to help rebuild. 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.

My all-time haul as ED is $22,262.77.

I sent several e-mails to the membership about participating in our 
survey, to which we had hundreds of replies. Those results should be 
available from Field Ops. I wrote a fundraising and candidate 
recruitment blurb in Mandy's latest newsletter. I plan to send another 
fundraising and candidate recruitment appeal later this week.

Also had a discussion with Chapter Development Director Paul Di Masi. We 
want to assure you that we will assist chapters in any way we can. We 
are at your disposal and have the tools to help grow. Reforming how 
local chapter relate with the state party may be a solution worth 
discussing.

The Cook County Libertarian Central Committee recently met to fulfill 
bylaws obligations. We discussed parades and Cook County districts we 
did well in. We met in Blue Island and plan to meet in and around Berwyn 
after this month. I also appointed Township and Ward Committeepersons 
and informed the Committee of the petitioning process for Ward 
Committeepersons in the primary election. I will have all the new 
documents to the Precinct Director soon.

Please march with Chicagoland Libertarians in the upcoming Chicago Pride 
Parade on Sunday. We will be lining up on Broadway north of Montrose. 
Follow up with me or See LPC's Facebook for more details.

Russ and I continue to host a new member welcome meeting. This month's 
was sparsely attended but May's had several eager newbies. One is 
looking to help start a chapter in the West Cook suburbs.

Feel free to call me on the new state party line, which can be found on 
the front page of the website. Thanks, IT Division, for setting that up.

I will continue to donate items to our archive at the UIC library. As 
some of you guys have just spent lots of money on Libertarian 
memorabilia, I encourage you to use the archive for safekeeping in case 
of a disaster like a fire. If you want to donate, let me know and I can 
help.

Best,
Justin Tucker
Executive Director, Libertarian Party of Illinois
