<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I just read your post on the 17th. Sorry this week has been
crazy. Work day Sat & Sun, business meeting Mon, event meeting Tue, work
on the pavilion at Rachel's Wed, I am home tonight !</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I wanted to touch base and tell you what is going
on,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I have heard a few rumors floating around.
We recently discussed these rumors at business meeting and again at populace.
A couple of people have been telling others #1 that Niklas and I want people
to go around from camp to camp looking for drugs and underage drinking. #2
that Niklas and I are trying to chase people off.</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>to answer #1 No people are not suppose to look for
trouble. We really do not want trouble and we really really do not want to
have to call the police. This is the reason we have talked about this in the
open, we want people from all corners of the Barony to know what is going on.
</FONT><BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>to answer #2 This is not from
Niklas and I this is from the Kingdom.This subject was discussed in the open
meeting at the last Red Tape / Kings Roundtable. A lady from an other group
ask the Kingdom Seneschal "What should you do if you see someone smoking pot
?" The answer was " Tell the Stewart, Seneschal, and Baron / Baroness,
and call the police as soon as possible. If anyone is giving alcohol to an
underage minor, call the police. The SCA Inc. can not afford the legal rick of
engorging these problems and we do not want that reputation either. "</FONT>
<BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Many additudes are changing around the
Kingdom. We now have teachers, policeman and lawyers that play and come to our
events. If these people see these actions and do not report it this
jeopardizes their jobs, their income to live on. If people are careless and
not discrete yes they will get in trouble at any event now. Just within this
last year 2 people have been banished level 3 R&D because they gave
alcohol to a minor. The Crown suggested to a couple of officers that they
stepped down because they found out that they smoked pot. </FONT><BR><BR><FONT
face=sans-serif size=2>Whether this is good or bad will depend on each persons
outlook, but the fact is the SCA is not as it was 15 to 20 years ago. The
people from the 60's are no longer in charge, and those that had partied hard
now have a wife and children and have slowed down. The nurses, lawyers,
teachers, and policeman that now hold offices in the SCA do not want the
reputation of this just being a big party group and because of their jobs they
can not allow it.</FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>There will still be
parties and that is good. We do not want anyone to get into trouble just
because they do not know what is going on.</FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="News Gothic MT" size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="News Gothic MT" size=2>I have also hear a rumor that you and
Trish and others are not going to come out any more.</FONT></DIV><FONT
size=2></FONT>
<DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>You know that I always enjoy seeing you
guys. Niklas and I do not want you to quit. I know the group would also
miss you. Call or e-mail us if you have any questions or just want to
talk.</FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="News Gothic MT" size=2></FONT><BR><FONT face=sans-serif
