The date of posting of the LoI, date of receipt of the Laurel packet, or other factors may delay consideration of certain letters of intent. Additionally, some letters of intent received may not have been scheduled because the administrative requirements (receipt of the forms packet, receipt of the necessary fees, et cetera) have not yet been met._ REMINDER: Until all administrative requirements are met, the letter may not be scheduled. **** From The Sovereigns of Arms: Thanks! **** We would like to extend our thanks to the people of the Shire of Dragons Mist in the Kingdom of An Tir for their hospitality and an absolutely wonderful weekend. Lady Teceangl Bach and her staff did a fantastic job. We will carry many wonderful memories of the Kingdom and the gracious people we met while there. **** From Laurel: KWHSS 2011 **** At KWHSS in An Tir, we extended the bid process for next year's KWHSS until July 31, since there were no bids at that time. Atlantia has submitted the only bid before the deadline. Therefore, we are pleased to announce that next year's Known World Heraldic and Scribal Symposium will be held in Atlantia, in High Point, North Carolina on the weekend of June 24-26, 2011. More information is available on OSCAR or by contacting Herrin Gisela vom Kreuzbach, the event steward. **** From Wreath: Magen David Adom **** A submission this month used a red Star of David on a white background. This is the symbol used in Israel by the _Magen David Adom_, the Jewish Red Cross affiliate. Magen David Adom is a member of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and their use of this symbol is allowed and protected under international treaty. The protection afforded the symbol of the Magen David Adom by international treaty and by national laws is at a much higher level than simple copyright or trademark. By treaty, the symbol of the Magen David Adom has the same protection as the symbols of the Red Cross, of the Red Crescent, and of the Red Crystal. We believe that the symbol of the Magen David Adom should be protected to the same extent as the symbols of the Red Cross, the Red Crescent, and the Red Crystal are protected. Thus, at this time, we are adding to the list of restricted charges the Magen David Adom, "A single gules Star of David on any argent background or in any way that could be displayed on an argent background (such as a fieldless badge)". The use of multiple gules Stars of David may be returned on a case-by-case basis if their placement or usage appears too evocative of the symbol of the Magen David Adom. **** Send What to Whom **** Letters of Intent, Comment, Response, Correction, et cetera are to be posted to the OSCAR online system. No paper copies need be sent. Submission packets (one copy of each name form plus documentation, including petitions; two colored copies of each armory form plus two copies of any associated documentation, including petitions) to the SCA College of Arms, PO Box 31755, Billings, MT 59107-1755. Cheques or money orders for submissions, payable to "SCA Inc.-College of Arms" are to be sent to David Duggar, Attn: Laurel Chancellor of Exchequer, 1705 Holiday Pl, Bossier City, LA 71112-3706.
