[SCA-BMDL] Purim Event in Trib?

[Cara & Char]

Cara and I have had the chance to talk this over, and here are our thoughts:

In summary, 1) the newspaper acted in good faith; 2) the BMDL web site was 
not the source of the information, and it already contains links to 
appropriate resources for non-SCAdians;  3) the Autocrat and others working 
on the event were not aware of the newspaper listing in advance.

It is indeed a good thing for the SCA when the press pays attention to us 
for the interesting and fun things we do.  The core issue in this particular 
case seems to be that personal information (names, addresses, emails, 
telephone numbers) was included in the event listing without explicit 
permission.

The other issue is that there are differences between public places (fire 
hall, schools, churches) and private residences.  We're still learning 
exactly what those differences are, so please bear with while we sort out 
what is comfortable for us.

We agree with Alessandra that the Media Liaison is a good resource for these 
gray areas, and with Edmundo and Filip that SCA events are open to everyone, 
but that people will enjoy them more with preparation and guidance.
