> Last year the Society faced a crisis and a choice regarding a legal dispute.
> The details of the litigation are not important, save to say that for
> fiscally responsible reasons the Society decided to settle. Unfortunately
> one of the insurance carriers for the Society decided not to support that
> decision and did not pay the claim the Society had. This in turn led to all
> of the kingdoms coming together as a whole and contributing from their
> coffers to ensure that the Society met the terms of its settlement in the
> litigation. While for a very adverse situation, this was one of those times
> that prove that not only our Kingdom, but our Society, is truly made up of
> great people who support each other and the Dream that we strive to live. 
> 
> Every local group in Aethelmearc contributed, and We wish to thank you all
> for that support.
> 
> Naturally, the Board is working on initiatives to help prevent cases from
> happening, and to help mitigate matters if crisis occurs, and we will look
> for them to roll those out in the near future.
> 
> That is not the end of that story however. We are pleased to announce that
> the Society did pursue a case against the insurance carrier in order to try
> and recoup at least a portion of what we all paid, and that the Board has
> reported to us that a settlement has been reached in that case, and that
> approximately 2/3 of those funds will be recovered. And so, those
> contributions that Aethelmearc made, or rather 2/3 of them, will return to
> Aethelmearc. And We will be working with the financial committee to
> distribute those funds properly back to the local groups.
> 
> We would like to think of this as a sign that doing the right thing,
> supporting each other, does work out in the end. 
> 
> We are proud to serve such people as you, who can band together and triumph
> over crisis, and who keep this Dream alive.  
>

> Many many thanks,
