[Moo] Business Stuff

[Ryan Snead]

Lewin,

Thank-you for pointing out the ADA compliance question. I am in the process
of checking on this through our kingdom's seneschallate. We have to comply
with ADA for all of our activities, not just business meetings. At this
time, I do not think this means we have to stop holding activities at
private residences unless they have been modified to meet certain
architectural standards. If I learn otherwise, it will be an education for
everyone.

As to blatant discrimination based on a disability, I am confident that
would not be tolerated in our local group.
