[Ansteorra-announce] [Announcements] Request for Commentary on Change to Family Membership

[LMOORE2122 at wi.rr.com]

Greetings to the members of the SCA.

Currently, section I.B.4 of the Corporate Policies for the SCA, Inc. 
defines a Family Membership as follows:

4. Family Membership extends the privileges of Section I.B.1 to the 
immediate family of a member defined in paragraphs B.1-B.2 of this 
Article, who live at the same physical address as the member. This 
type of membership is not considered a subscribing membership.

Per the membership application, the cost for family membership is:

• Family: $10.00 – Immediate family of a Sustaining or International 
member residing at the same address. Family members are extended the 
privileges of Associate membership. A maximum of $60 will be collected 
from families with one Sustaining and three or more family members 
($35 + $25).

This membership is meant for families, specifically immediate families 
at the same address, to be able to enjoy membership at a reasonable 
cost.  We have, unfortunately, seen what appears to be a growing trend 
of abuse of this membership type over the past few years, with as many 
as 20 people applying under one family membership.  

Therefore, the Board is considering the following change to the 
definition of a Family Membership.  A Family Membership would include 
two (2) adults and any children 17 and under residing at the same 
address.  Section I.B.4 of the Corporate Policies for the SCA, Inc. 
would be changed to read as follows:

4. Family Membership extends the privileges of Section I.B.1 to the 
one additional adult and minor children 17 and under, in addition to a 
member as defined in paragraphs B.1-B.2 of this Article, who live at 
the same physical address as the member. This type of membership is 
not considered a subscribing membership.

Comments are due to the Board of Directors by June 1, 2006.

Thank you.

Linda Moore
President, SCA Inc.
