LPIN BBQ Draws Nearly 70 to Monroe County Farm

BLOOMINGTON, IN -- Despite temperatures in the mid-90's, the LPIN BBQ and pitch-in at the farm of Mark Burris and Rebecca Sink-Burris was a great success.

The pitch-in drew people from all across the state as well as other states. Visiting Nevada State Chairman Jim Duensing attended with family members from Lake County, including brother Jeff, the LP candidate for the 1st District U.S. Congressional seat currently held by Democrat Pete Visclosky. Indiana Libertarians attending included Andy Horning, candidate for governor.

Participants took part in the practice shooting range organized by LPMC volunteer Bob Kirkpatrick, cooled off in the swimming pool and played in the creek.

The event was held in conjunction with the LPIN quarterly State Central Committee meeting. At the meeting SCC members voted to approach Kentucky libertarians about hosting a joint state conference in the Greater Louisville area next year. A motion was made to allow Chairman Singer to contract for two additional part-time staff to work with communications and office technology. SCC approved Dan Drexler as the LPIN vice chairman to complete departing Rebecca Sink-Burring, who moved up to the LNC District 3 representative at the national convention in May.
