No subject

As the Directors and Corporate Staff informed the membership of the SCA in
April of this year, the SCA, Inc. has been named in two civil suits based on
alleged sexual misconduct of an adult toward minors.  Unfortunately, the
individual accused of the misconduct was a member of the SCA. The SCA did
not sanction the alleged misconduct, had no prior knowledge of the
misconduct, and had never received any complaints concerning the adult
involved prior to his arrest. The adult involved has since been subject to
absolute banishment from the SCA.

As an update, the Director's and Corporate Staff want to inform the
membership that the SCA, Inc.'s insurance company has denied coverage for
both suits (based on a child abuse exclusion in the policy, which is a
normal exclusion in corporate insurance policies). We further wish to inform
the membership that the insurance company has filed a lawsuit against the
SCA, Inc. to enforce the exclusion. This action is normal in a case such as
this. The loss of coverage applies only to the above mentioned civil suits
and does not affect the SCA's insurance coverage for other activities. The
Directors and Corporate Staff cannot comment further on the coverage action,
or on any other pending legal action. However, we will continue to update
the membership of the SCA as appropriate.

Comments are strongly encouraged and can be sent to:
SCA Inc.
Box 360789
Milpitas,  CA 95036
