 *VIP PASSES*

*
*

Exciting news!  Beginning in October 2010 the SCA will test a newcomer
recruitment initiative that will run until July 1, 2011. During this time
the SCA will include a VIP Pass in the envelopes containing membership cards
sent out to the first 6,000 participants who renew their memberships. This
benefit of membership allows a renewing SCA member to give a VIP Pass to a
single newcomer.


The holder of the VIP Pass is exempt from paying the Non-Member Surcharge
(NMS) for their first three events they attend while exploring the SCA. The
VIP Pass is not a free admission to an SCA event; it simply excuses the Pass
holder from paying the NMS.

At the third event, these passes will be collected by “Gate” personnel and
sent on to the SCA NMS deputy. The SCA will then follow up with these
newcomers with membership literature. Instructions for handling the VIP Pass
at “Troll”/”Gate” can be found at both the Society Exchequer and Corporate
Treasurer websites at http://www.sca.org/officers/exchequer/ and
http://www.sca.org/officers/treasurer/.


To validate the Pass, the newcomer must fill it out, sign and date it at
Gate at the first event they attend. Passes are good until redeemed fully at
a total of three events. Each pass can be used only by the single newcomer
whose name is put on it at the time of the first use. Passes are not
transferable. All VIP Passes expire on July 1, 2011.

The VIP Pass is meant for use only by first time newcomers, not for folks
who are current or past members of the SCA.  The VIP Pass is NOT valid for
the following Inter-Kingdom events: Pennsic War, Gulf Wars, Estrella War,
Lilies War and Great Western War. At these events, newcomers must still pay
the NMS.


As the Society is based on the concepts of honor and Chivalry, it is assumed
that the good gentles using the VIP Pass will not seek to abuse the
hospitality of the SCA.  Any person abusing the system will be subject to
sanctions.

If you have additional questions please email chatelaine at sca.org or
exchequer at sca.org.
