[Ravensfort] Update on Care Packages

[Shane Wallace]

Greetings,
Lady Xanthe is absolutely correct......... Baronial funds can not be 
used for this purpose according to Kingdom and Society Law. Furthermore, 
although this is a noble idea we should stay on topic when posting to 
the list. The focus of any SCA list should be on the SCA functions, its 
members, and the Time Periods that it deals with....... Off topics 
should go through other  means of dispersal, such as private emails.....
In Service,
Lord Malcolm de Crauford

I have no issue with what you are attempting to do,
and think its a worthy action, that of helping part of
our community. My issue lies with turning this list
into a mundane political platform. If thats not whats
going to happen then I will happily go back to quietly
reading.
