<DIV>I think that would be a great idea, maybe a yahoo group called unofficial SCA stuff or unofficial SCA rants hold on let me check right quick. Here is the website of the unofficialravensfortgroup. <A href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unofficialravensfortgroup">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unofficialravensfortgroup</A></DIV>
<DIV>and the email to make postings is as follows</DIV>
<DIV><A href="mailto:unofficialravensfortgroup@yahoogroups.com">unofficialravensfortgroup@yahoogroups.com</A></DIV>
<DIV>This way from now on I will suggest to several people to join our group and this way we can discuss what we want and we won't be off topic.</DIV>

<DIV>And yet.....To do that EVERY time we wanted to ask everyone's thoughts on something would be a (guess what Im thinking *grin*)!!! I dont know about you, but I dont even have every officers email (pointed looks *grin*) let alone everyone in the Barony's. Maybe I need to start a free talk list where sharing with members of our sca family is okay ....specially since there are times when we go for WEEKS with nothing offical to talk about. (I AM the one that announced to the list when Katie used the potty the first time.....and my baby shower wasnt EXACTLY an official Baronial function)</DIV>

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..... <BR>In Service,<BR>Lord Malcolm de Crauford<BR>Seneschal <BR><BR>rachel luce wrote:<BR>

<DIV>Doing it under the arony's *name* isn't going to be a problem. It's with the Barony's *funds* that you're going to run into some pretty strict guidelines. Speaking as somebody who happens to be reeve for another group the one unbreakable rule is that any expense (in this case mailing costs) must show substantial benefit to the exempt purpose of the SCA. (pg 22, Exchequer's Handbook v2003.) The SCA's purpose is the study of the Middle Ages and the Rennaissance. Generally speaking we can't give /pay money that benefits private companies or individuals unless we are getting an item or service back htat the group will use to further hte SCA's purpose ( portapotties for an event, pavillions for the Barony, rent for a group mailbox etc.) SO off the top of my head I'd say we</DIV>
<DIV> (Raven's Fort) cannot reimburse anyone mailing costs for these care packages BUT we can pass the hat at Populace. My two cents...</DIV>
