[Mid] More regulations

How is it these rules get slipped up on us without anyone knowing? I'm
forwarding this to the Middlebridge for general information. I suppose next
week we won't be able to buy cider for a feast, just in case any leftovers
might ferment into hard cider.

> During our recent Kingdom Seneschals and Exchequers Symposium, we had a
very informative session with the Executive Assistant to the Board, Andrew
Smith (aka Duke Andrew of Riga). Unfortunately, the information he had to
give us will probably not sit well with many of you.
> Due to restrictions in our current insurance policies, funds currently
held in SCA accounts in the name of local Brewer’s Guilds may not be used to
manufacture alcohol, including the purchase of materials to do so. You are
probably already aware that SCA funds can not be used to purchase alcohol
(except as a cooking ingredient) as this was sent out as a notice from the
Board of Directors over a year ago. Further discussion with Andrew also
revealed that local brewer’s newsletters are putting us in insurance peril
if they focus on redacting recipes or publishing new recipes developed by
members of the guild.
> Therefore, if your group currently holds funds for your local brewer’s
guild, please consult with the members of the guild to decide how to dispose
of the funds. You must dispose of these funds in a manner fitting the SCA’s
nonprofit status. Funds may not be distributed to non-SCA accounts, as they
were raised in the name of the SCA. However, they may be used for other
purposes such as subsidizing a local event or feast, or a brewer’s
newsletter as long as the focus of that newsletter is educational and/or
scholarly research of alcohol in period use. Recipes are acceptable as long
as they are period recipes. In other words, "This is what they actually
did …" as opposed to "Here’s a great recipe you should try."
> The raising of future funds by the brewer’s guilds should not be
encouraged. Any fund raising must be done as individuals for individuals by
individuals. The SCA will not be involved in any fundraising for the brewer
’s guild, either directly or indirectly. Money raised should NOT be
deposited into an SCA account, and donations by check or money order should
be made to the person organizing the fundraising or any other person in
charge of the effort – NOT to the SCA, Inc. Money raised is not tax
deductible by the donor as it is not being donated to the SCA.
> If you have any questions on this matter, please feel free to contact me,
or the Executive Assistant at EA@sca.org.

The World's Need

So many Gods, so many creeds,
So many paths that wind and wind,
When just the art of being kind
Is all this sad world needs.
