LHC member Andy Williams, the organizer, suggested a possible plan for the LHC to raise money by selling beer tickets at the event; however, after a lengthy discussion, LHC members decided that this was not possible to accomplish this year. It would require getting a special events liquor license and dealing with liability issues. However, LHC members wished Andy success with the Buona Sera Market this summer. F.
