An update to a recent Announcement...

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Aaron Rusty Lloyd <it at sca.org>
Date: Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 4:41 PM
Subject: [Announcements] regarding the recent reply to the Lawsuit
Donations message.
To: announcements at lists.sca.org

 All:

Please follow the instructions as laid out in the announcement posted
below. Ms. Earley's message was posted to the Announcements email list in
error.

To reiterate:

 The Board of Directors would like to express its gratitude for the
generosity of the good people of the SCA.  We know many of you are holding
fund-raisers and seeking ways to donate to the Society, thank you. We
deeply appreciate all your efforts. We have had many e-mails, telephone
calls and messages asking about donations.  Here are some guidelines for
donating or sending money to SCA Inc.

You are free to hold fundraisers or make personal donations, and the SCA
deeply appreciates your efforts and your support of our shared
organization. We would suggest that you make any such donations directly to
your Kingdom to help it pay the amount it will be required to contribute as
its part of the SCA’s obligations in the settlement. Some Kingdoms have
organized ACCEPS “event” to accept donations, so if it is more convenient
for you to donate online, check the ACCEPS site to see if your Kingdom has
created a donation “event.”  Any donations made through ACCEPS will go to
the Kingdom.

If you choose, you may also send a donation directly to the corporation,
and it will be gratefully accepted as a general donation toward the SCA’s
operating expenses. The corporate office is working on a Paypal account and
will add a button to the SCA’s website once the account is established. Any
donations sent directly to the corporate office or through the corporate
Paypal account will not be counted toward your Kingdom’s obligation.

We also encourage the membership to opt out of paper newsletters as soon as
possible because it reduces the amount of operating expenses the SCA must
pay. See your Kingdom newsletter or www.sca.org for more information on how
to opt out of paper newsletters. You will soon have access to the
electronic version of all the Kingdom’s newsletters!

We encourage our members to use one of these methods or to send a check
directly to your Kingdom Exchequer or the SCA's corporate office in
Milpitas to ensure your donation is received and put to its intended use.
Thank you all again for your support of our wonderful Society!

Thank you.

 PLEASE DON'T USE PAYPAL. If someone there decides they don't like us, they
can freeze the account (see Regretsy v. Paypal). It's why we set up ACCEPS
in the first place - to not use PayPal. Instead, put a button that directs
them to the ACCEPS page for direct donations to SCA, Inc. ACCEPS could even
see if they can make donations from that page go directly into one of the
corporate accounts, not the ACCEPS account.
