<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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.</SPAN></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><BR><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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. </SPAN><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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

<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">To validate the Pass,
the newcomer must fill it out, sign and date it <SPAN>at Gate </SPAN>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.</SPAN><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN></P>
<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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.</SPAN></P>

<P style="LINE-HEIGHT: normal; BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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. </SPAN><SPAN
