[Cynnabar] Insurance Money

[Matt Lagemann]

So I bring this up on the list because we do not have a meeting between now
and the dead line.  I will give a summary of the issue, my thoughts, and
then post what Baroness Giovanna posted on the Pentamere page so you can
read it in full if you wish.

Basically, does the Barony want 70% of the money it had to pay out for the
lawsuit returned to it or does it want the kingdom to keep it to make up
for shortfalls in the budget.  We need to let Kingdom know by March 9.

My thoughts
1)  As far as I know the Barony is doing well financially.  We don't need
the money.
2)  We gave it not expecting to get it back
3)  I have faith that the Kingdom Exchequer knows what she is talking
about.

So we should let Kingdom keep it.  Now if I am wrong on points 1-3, I may
change my mind, but that is where I stand.  Thoughts?

Forwarded message:

Unto the groups of the Middle Kingdom does Bantiarna Briana Morgan of the
Valley and the members of the Midrealm Financial Committee send greetings,

As you know the SCA Inc, has settled with the insurance company and
received a portion of the funds back. In general terms the populace was
told two-thirds. When the Middle Kingdom received the check and compared to
the amount paid it equated to 70 percent returned.

The Financial Committee is willing to return 70 percent of the amount paid
to each group, but are running into a financial constraint.

Due to Kingdom Level events not making as much as was budgeted and the
Pennsic Profit half of its expected income, the Kingdom is currently
experiencing a budgetary shortfall in comparison to budgeted expenses. To
offset the shortfall from the lower Pennsic Profit share, we ask each group
consider if they could afford to have less than the 70 percent returned.
Please respond to exchequer at midrealm.org with your group's decision no
later than 9 March 2013.

Any non-response will be taken as a no and the returned funds will be at
the 70 percent rate.
