Well, I thought the column in the last TI written by the Chairman of the
BoD gave a well-reasoned, succinct answer to why SCA participants should
consider becoming dues-paid members.

In fact, I thought enough of it, that I wrote her and asked for her permission
to add it to the Florilegium. So, if you have folks who are debating whether
they should pay their money to SCA Inc, and become members, you might direct
them to this file:
