[Ponte Alto] Questions re: Possible Indoor Site For Baronial Activities

[guylestran at aol.com]

Mistress Greta, I am not sure what you mean by pleadged when you write 
in thus....."pledged", it seems like you are doubting the words of the 
fighters.  Please let me make it clear,  when I say I am going to do 
something, as with all of the other fighters our word is our bond.  
Many of the reasons many of us are drawn ot the SCA is that we can be 
taken at our word.  It is vexing to say the least when that word is 
doubted.

I for one as I have said am in favor of doing this over the winter 
months.   Our comminity is very spread out.  We can all benifit from 
this and it will give our newer members a chance to get to know more of 
us.

We also have YMIR coming up.  An indoor site such as this would help 
many of us prepare for this, be it on the field, or off with our Arts.  


While the Baron has suggested this is brought up at the end of the 
month, perhaps he might reconsider and do some sort of online polling, 
I am sure the word could be gotten out so that people would have the 
chance to check the elist,  I would think there are more people are in 
than attend the Sunday business meetings.  While it might be a little 
extra work we could check the names on the emails against our paid 
members listing.

I remain

Baron Sir Guy, OP

Fellow Pontoons:  While this is an intersting proposal
and perhaps a good opportunity for the Barony, I think
that Mistress Anne brings up a very valid point
regarding financial liability for the Barony.  While
the heavy fighters may well have "pledged" financial
support for this endeavour, they are NOT the ones with
whom the school would have a financial contract, and
thus they are NOT the ones who would be legally on the
hook for the money.  The BARONY would be the legal
entity with the financial obligation.

Anne has also asked a germain question regarding
immediacy of this decision.  Has the individual to
whom the school spoke explained to the school
administration that we have certain proceedures which
our local organization must follow for such a
financial outlay?  If not, then I would recommend that
this be the first course of action.  The school
administration may be willing to allow us a little bit
of time to go through proper channels to vote on this
proposal.  If the school is addemate that a decision
must be made now (but I will point out that the
Fairfax County schools are closed until January 2),
then it would be proper to ask the Emergendy Financial
Committee to vote on a one month contract, perhaps for
2 Sundays of that month.  As the school appears to
have been to ones to approach our group on this
matter, they may be willing to work with us on the
particulars if we ask them.

Yours in Service,

Greta Klusenaere, O.P.
