[Moo] Fundraising for Gleann Abhann flooding

[Ii Saburou Katsumori (Joshua B.)]

I thought this was probably a note that should be sent out to the Barony at 
large, just in case there were any questions. If this only causes questions, 
feel free to e-mail me and I'd be willing to talk to you about SCA policy.

Just a few reminders regarding fundraising for disasters:

1) SCA funds may not be raised for or used to benefit specific people. Funds 
for individuals or families of individuals are not valid donation 
destinations for any SCA funds.

2) SCA branches may raise funds for and donate to any valid registered 
disaster relief organization. The American Red Cross is another 501(c)(3) 
organization (Tax ID# 53-0196605). Branch financial committees must vote 
whether and how much to donate. Then they send the donation to their local 
branch of the Red Cross, which can be found by going to
www.redcross.org<http://www.redcross.org/>.
It is possible to designate where you would like your donation used. 
https://www.redcross.org/donation/formprint.html has a form to use to print 
out to accompany the check. It is a good idea to keep a copy of the form 
sent in with the check for the Exchequer's files. 

There are other registered disaster relief organizations - the American Red 
Cross is only one, but it is one of the largest. Branches may choose to 
donate to other valid disaster relief organizations.

3) As always, fundraisers which do not name the SCA, do clearly identify the 
destination organization or fund, and are conducted as a 'pass-the-hat' 
where the money does not go through an SCA account may be directed as the 
donors see fit.

Our hopes and good wishes are with those in Gleann Abhann affected by the 
hurricane and flooding.
