[MR] FW: [gdh] Fw: Pennsic 30 Budget

[Becky McEllistrem]

I care because it's about ethics in management and the
impression SCA gives to those around us.  And it's my
funds that pay for my Pennsic fees that evidently are
paying for this.

I also care because I wonder whether it's money well
spent or money that could have gone as a contribution
to the needs of the local community.

Since my entrance fee is most likely helping with this
I have a right to ask.
