Just a few reminders regarding fundraising for disasters:
 
1) SCA funds may not be raised for or used to benefit specific people. Funds
for individuals or families of individuals are not valid donation
destinations for any SCA funds.
 
2) SCA branches may raise funds for and donate to any valid registered
disaster relief organization. The American Red Cross is another 501(c)(3)
organization (Tax ID# 53-0196605). Branch financial committees must vote
whether and how much to donate. Then they send the donation to their local
branch of the Red Cross, which can be found by going to www.redcross.org. It
is possible to designate where you would like your donation used. 
https://www.redcross.org/donation/formprint.html has a form to use to print
out to accompany the check. It is a good idea to keep a copy of the form
sent in with the check for the Exchequer's files. 
 
There are other registered disaster relief organizations - the American Red
Cross is only one, but it is one of the largest. 
Branches may choose to donate to other valid disaster relief organizations.
 
3) As always, fundraisers which do not name the SCA, do clearly identify the
destination organization or fund, and are conducted as a 'pass-the-hat'
where the money does not go through an SCA account may be directed as the
donors see fit.
 
Our hopes and good wishes are with those in Gleann Abhann affected by the
hurricane and flooding.
