[Ponte Alto] Fwd: VA SENESCHALS - IMPORTANT Re: Lawsuit settlement and Waiver news

[denise]

 Greetings-

One the easiest ways to help during time is to go to sca.org and opt out of the paper Kingdom newsletter which will enroll you to receive the Kingdom newsletter electronically.  Just click on the Opt Out form.  When e-newsletters are available you will have access to ALL Kingdom newsletters and a Tournaments Illuminated snippet. The savings will make a difference during these hard financial times in our Society.  

Thank you
Countess Denise Duvalier, OP
SCA Inc. Board of Director
Resident of the Barony of Ponte Alto

This is a clarification/reminder of what was ASKED of us as a Barony.
 
Also, in response to Naran's question of how to donate, I found a place to donate on the Membership Renewal pages.  Otherwise, an FAQ page says that donations should be made to the Kingdom.

Your Excellencies,
 
Below you will find my response to an email issued to your seneschals earlier this evening by my VA regional deputy.  
 
As I stated below, while I appreciate the spirit behind the message, it does NOT reflect or represent the expectation of Their Majesties, Their Highness or myself.  
 
This is a time for thoughtful decisions and great care.  It is of the upmost importance that this process garner no ill will - that, most of all, is the top priority of Their Majesties, Their Highnesses and myself. 
 
Please continue to proceed as has been directed by Their Majesties in Their missive to you on Saturday.  
 
Regards,
Alesia

My good seneschals of Virginia, 
 
While I appreciate the intent behind this challenged issued to you by Baron Kendrick, I must step in to remind you what has already been communicated by Their Majesties, Master Gravesend and myself.  
 
****There is no required contribution from any branch.  We are asking the Baronies for $400 to keep the Kingdom whole through the end of this year.  There is no request for contributions to the Shires or Cantons.***
 
One of the great aspects of the Kingdom being able to pay; the branches within the Kingdom can take their time and consider their financial position carefully before making any contribution.
 
*Do take the time to consider your branch's financial position and discuss any contribution with your populace.   
 
*As you conduct these discussions remember to take into account the possible impact of any contribution fully and completely.  Please be doubly sure to explain those impacts to your populace.  
 
*Repeatedly remind them (and yourselves) that there is no required contribution.  We have asked that each barony contribute $400 to the Kingdom as a stopgap measure to ensure that we have sufficient operating funds to meet our existing obligations.
 
In this pivotal time you, as branch seneschal, must do your best to keep everyone calm and help them resist the want to be overly zealous by 'coming to the rescue' only to put your branch in a untenable financial position later this year or next.  
 
It is exceptionally important that every Atlantian understand that any and all contributions are voluntary.  
 
Regards,
Alesia
