Reasonable expenses are covered by the Corporation and may include: paper, printer cartridges, stamps, mailing expenses, and a post office box. To receive reimbursement, you will be asked to submit an expense report, with receipts attached. The Editor and Art Director both receive a small stipend from the SCA after each issue goes to press. Past experience has shown that the Editor and the Art Director work more easily together when they are in the same general locale. This arrangement is preferable, though not required, and candidate teams are encouraged to apply together. Individual applications also will be considered. One person may apply for and be appointed to both jobs if the candidate has all of the necessary skills.</FONT></P>
