[Sca-cooks] PC was: Is anybody out there???

If you have strong opinions on the matter I would suggest you contact your  
Board Liaison and the Society Chirurgeon.  I was not at Pennsic and only  know 
the few things that have been bantered back and forth locally.  I do  know 
that it was addressed during the Executive session at last month's BOD  meeting 
and sent back to the Society Chirurgeon until a better policy could be  
achieved.
 
Unfortunately this is what happens when hiring a mundane service to  handle 
services usually covered by a society office.  There is a line drawn  between 
the mundane and SCA authorities at that point.  When there is no  mundane law 
to address the authority issue, you rely on policies  and procedures.  The fact 
that there was no policy to address this  issue made things worse.  It always 
takes one bad lesson to create the need  for revised policies.
 
Hope you stick it out and voice your opinions to the BOD.  They really  do 
appreciate your comments.  
 
In Service,
