[MR] Atlantia Digest, Vol 66, Issue 4

[Stacie Larson]

Associate membership is cheaper, it's true, but bear in mind that it won't get you a warrant if you want to be an officer, including a marshal.  Someone in your house must receive the newsletter.

From Corpora VII.K.3:
3. Before a proposed officer can be placed on a roster or warrant, they must have a
membership that provides immediate access to the corporate newsletter for their area. This also applies todeputies designated as an officer’s successor.

From Kingdom Law :

4.8   Ensuring Membership of Local Officers 
Officers
of State shall ensure that all appointed officers of local groups are
either patron, contributing, or sustaining members of the SCA, Inc., or
are associate or family members with immediate access to the Kingdom
newsletter provided by a subscribing membership at their residence.
This shall be checked at least once per reign. Each Kingdom Officer of
State shall submit a roster of warranted officers to Their Majesties
and the Kingdom Seneschal at the beginning of each reign. 
Cheers,
Cecily

Associate membership does not get you the printed publications, but 
does get you a blue card so people can fight you without checking to 
see that you've signed a waiver. That's only $20. Family membership 
is even cheaper per person.

Membership Type         Annual
Sustaining              $35.00
Associate               $20.00
Family ($10.00 X # of members up to $25 maximum)
