[Artemisia] Newsletter Production Stipends

[Jackman-Brink, Julia]

Hi All!  Talking here is great. But in reality, if you really want the
Board of Directors to consider other options, you should send your
thoughts and concerns to their direct attention.  There is an email link
on the SCA.ORG website  on which you can comment on topics of note.  I
am certain they would appreciate any feedback people have.

Very well said!  I was just trying to figure out how to express the same
thoughts.  Someone previously suggested local pools where people with
printers printed out and mailed publications to people who didn't have
access (or who simply wanted a hard copy) for a small contribution to
costs.  I think that's a wonderful suggestion for everyone to get what
they want.  Plus it encourages community by getting people working and
interacting with those who would otherwise have been just another face
at events and it puts the cost directly on those who do want it, instead
of routing it through the SCA, the Kingdom, and those of us who don't
want or need it.

I am among those who rarely look at my hard copy.  I access everything I
need from my computer or my phone.  The hard copy is just another set of
papers that come to my house, kick around contributing to the mess for
awhile, then get recycled.  I have mentioned to my husband that I feel a
bit guilty because it's a waste of money and resources to send it to us
at all.  I welcome having at least the option to receive it
electronically instead.
