anyone denying that there is a need right now to help out
the SCA? Bare minimum of our required obligation seems
inadequate to me in our organizations time of need. While
intellectually I understand that desire to go thru our
normal discussion process for funding decisions, in this
special circumstance, I don’t understand the hesitation or
reluctance to just step up to the plate and just be generous
now, this week. We have the capability. We have the
resources and still have a good surplus. We have events and
ideas for more fundraisers that will more than cover this.
I’ve seen a lot of questions as to what happens if, and how
does “x” happen if “y”. To me the question is why <i>shouldn’t</i>
we help out the SCA right now. So many other groups are not
even hesitating over this. Other (international) Kingdoms
not required to help out are stepping up and sending in
money. If we held our normal 3 meeting discussion is there
really any doubt that the overwhelming majority will approve
contributing more than our bare minimum obligation? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

have enough members of Cynnabar active on this list where it

help out now, this week. Give generously as we can. Trust
the people in charge will do the right thing and put the
money to best use. And support the Society we all know and
love.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

whether we are going to do the bare minimum of what is
